Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The federal form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by the executive director and treasurer. It was then presented to the full board of directors for review prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The wef chairman presides over all meetings. Directors are required to review and sign the conflict of interest policy. Prior to the start of the meeting, the chairman asks if anyone has a conflict of interest and, if so, to make it known. If the board determines that a conflict exists, the conflicted person is recused from the meeting for the portion where there is a discussion of the issues on which there is a conflict.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The board relied upon a benchmarking analysis to determine the compensation of the executive director. For 2017, a more complete benchmarking was conducted through a third party (prm). The results of this study was provided directly to the board of directors and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision was made.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Wef makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
