“All actions of the governing body were handled at the board level for the organization for the current year. No committees were utilized.”

“Management reviewed in detail form 990; an executive summary was provided to the board of directors.”

“Pursuant to wss' human resource (hr) policies and procedures and in connection with wss' code of ethics and business conduct, all covered individuals shall 1) disclose any conflict of interest which occurs or might occur in conjunction with his or her relationship with wss and 2) avoid any conflict of interest which interferes or creates a negative perception of interference with objective decision making and otherwise does not operate within the best interests of wss. Covered individuals include members of the board of directors of all entities controlled by wss directly or indirectly, officers of wss, department heads and other administrative employees, employees to whom authority has been delegated to commit wss to a course of action or whose recommendations are likely to be influential in determining a course of action, and individuals having certain relationships with the aforementioned individuals, such as being members of the same family or household or beneficiaries or trustees of any trust in which the aforementioned individual is a beneficiary or trustee. A copy of the conflict of interest policy is provided to each covered individual at the time he or she assumes such status. Each covered individual shall, as promptly as possible, report their concerns to hr. Each covered individual shall report situations involving an actual or partial conflict of interest to the hr department of wss in writing. Each covered individual shall disclose any interest in transactions presented to the corporate management of wss as may be required by the by-laws or similarly governing instruments of wss. A designee of the hr or quality department will expeditiously evaluate the circumstance giving rise to the potential conflict and establish its merit so that safeguards can be implemented to protect all parties. Wss obtains signed conflict of interest statements from each member of the board of directors on an annual basis.”

“The organization's compensation plan follows a base pay market approach which is similar for all employees including top management. On an annual basis, the human resources department recommends changes to the base pay ranges as determined through market analysis. As part of the annual budgeting process, the board reviews and approves, as appropriate, the funds to be allocated for total compensation. In addition, there is a compensation committee who reviews the compensation of the ceo. A member of the compensation committee informs the vp of finance of any changes to the ceo's compensation so they can be processed. The process is documented and secured in an undisclosed location.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request.”

“Life changing programs are offered in the areas of aging, behavioral health, community empowerment, family support and preservation, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and specialized education. Our vision is to do more for more children, families and adults; be more effective, efficient and sustainable; and continue to innovate in what we do and how we do it. During fy19, our staff embodied wfs' values by working tirelessly to effectively do more for more with empathy, while striving for excellence in caring for those we are privileged to serve, and empowering their transformation through innovation and inspiration.”

“Wesley spectrum services (wss) previously became a member organization of wesley family services (wfs) and systematically migrated its operations/programs to wfs over the course of two fiscal years. This action resulted in a reduction of program service accomplishments and associated revenue for wss for fy19.”

“For the year ended june 30, 2019, wss was included in a consolidated audit of its financial statements with related entities. As such, oversight of the audit process and selection of the independent accountants was performed by the audit committee of wss' parent entity, wesley family services. The audit committee is responsible for review and approval of the presentation of the audited financial statements as well as management's related performance.”

“A minimal amount of fundraising expenses are incurred in connection with the monies received by wesley spectrum services. Government funds make up a majority of the revenue reported in part viii, statement of revenue. Most fundraising activities are conducted by a related organization of wss, wesley family services foundation.”
