“AWI is a professional trade association made up of manufacturing member companies, supplier member companies, and affiliate individual members.”

“On an annual basis, the AWI manufacturing membership elects directors for two-year terms to fill vacancies on the AWI board of directors.”

“The form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by the executive vice president. Prior to filing the form 990, the executive vice president sent a copy of the form 990 via email to each member of the AWI board of directors.”

“Annually, each officer and director signs an acknowledgement of AWI's conflict of interest policy as part of a volunteer leader agreement form. If a potential or real conflict arises, it is addressed by the board chair, who makes sure that it is resolved in the best interests of AWI.”

“The top management official's compensation is reviewed annually and compared to the most recent ASAE salary research survey. The deliberations and decisions of the board of directors are contemporaneously documented in the board's minutes. The last review took place in December 2021.”

“The organization's financial statements, governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available on AWI's website.”

“The objectives and purposes for which AWI is organized, are: conduct a trade association to promote the progress and development of the architectural woodwork industry; promote the use of architectural woodwork through an educational service to architects, owners, builders, the industry, and the public; improve methods of manufacture, shipment, and installation of architectural woodwork; develop new types and uses for architectural woodwork; originate, collect, and distribute technical, statistical and general data and information on matters of interest to members of the architectural woodwork industry, architects, owners, builders, and the public; develop uniform cost accounting, estimating, detailing and billing systems, and average industry cost computations; assist and cooperate with private or governmental bodies engaged in furthering the foregoing purposes; and, generally, to do all things appropriate for the best interests of the architectural woodwork industry.”
