“1. Wb has a conflicts of interest provision in its bylaws and also maintains a separate conflicts of interest policy that applies to its board of directors and key employee. Wb does monitor any conflicts that may exist between its directors and wb. 2. Directors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest that may exist with wb. At this time, none of the directors have any conflicts of interest with wb. 3. Wb does not have a written questionnaire or other formal written process for the disclosure of conflicts of interest. Given the small size of the organization and its board of directors, the disclosure of conflicts are handled on a more informal basis, i.e., directors are asked to disclose any conflicts to wb and at meetings of the board of directors. As noted above, at this time, there are no conflicts that have been disclosed to wb. 4. Wb has not been involved in a situation where any of is directors have had a conflict of interest with respect to a matter that has been presented to the board of directors for consideration and approval. However, consistent with the bylaws provision and the existing conflicts of interest policy, should a conflict of interest arise with respect to any director and a matter being considered by the board, the director would be required to recuse himself/herself from participation in any discussion and vote on the matter consistent with california law and reasonable governance practices.”

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

“Wb does not have a whistleblower provision in its bylaws or any policy. Since wb has only one employee (the president/ceo of wb), its operations are not significant and it does not operate in a federally funded or heavily regulated business, wb has not implemented any whistleblower provision or process for its operations.”
