“Conflict of interest policy: employees and board members have an obligation to conduct business within guidelines that prohibit actual or potential conflicts of interest. This policy establishes only the framework within which the wisconsin dells visitor & convention bureau (wdvcb) wishes its business to operate. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide general direction so that board members and employees can seek further clarification on issues related to the subject of acceptable standards of operation. An actual or potential conflict of interest occurs when a board member or an employee is in a position to influence a decision that may result in an unusual or significant personal gain or gain for a relative as a result of wdvcb's business dealings. For the purpose of this policy, a relative is any person who is related by blood or marriage, or whose relationship with the board member or employee is similar to that of persons who are related by blood or marriage. No presumption of a conflict is created by the mere existence of a relationship with outside firms. However, if a board member or an employee has any influence on any material business transactions, it is imperative that he or she discloses to an officer of the organization as soon as possible the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest so that safeguards can be established to protect all parties. Personal gain may result not only in cases where a board member, an employee, or a relative has a significant ownership in a firm with which wdvcb does business, but also when a board member, an employee, or a relative receives any kickback, bribe, substantial gift, or special consideration as a result of any transaction or business dealings involving wdvcb. Employees and board members will be surveyed annually for: 1) identifying and disclosing potential conflicts of interest, and 2) affirmation of receipt, review, understanding and agreement to the conflict of interest policy. Disclosure of conflicts will be handled in the following manner: -disclosures by members of the board will be reviewed by the chair of the board. Discussions and decisions made by the board involving issues related to the conflict will not be participated in by the member with the disclosed conflict. -disclosures by employees of the wdvcb will be reviewed by the president/ceo. Discussions and decisions made by the wdvcb involving issues related to the conflict will not be participated in by the employee with the disclosed conflict.”

“Process used to determine executive compensation: effective date: 07/21/2009 revision date: board approved: 07/21/2009 program philosophy and objectives: the wisconsin dells visitor & convention bureau's (wdvcb) primary objective is to provide a reasonable and competitive executive total compensation opportunity consistent with market-based compensation practices for individuals possessing the experience and skills needed to improve the overall performance of the organization. The organization's executive compensation program is designed to encourage the attraction and retention of high-caliber executives, provide a competitive total compensation package, including benefits, reinforce the goals of the organization by supporting teamwork and collaboration, ensure that pay is perceived to be fair and equitable, be flexible to reward individual accomplishments as well as organizational success, ensure that the program is easy to explain, understand, and administer, balance the need to be competitive with the limits of available financial resources, and ensure that the program complies with state and federal legislation. Program market position: while the wdvcb focuses on comparable organizations in our state to benchmark pay, we also understand that the market for executive talent may be broader than this group. Market information from additional market segments and published not-for-profit compensation surveys may be used as a supplement. In addition, the wdvcb may also collect other published survey data, when appropriate, for for-profit organizations for specific functional competencies such as finance and human resources. Together with data from the comparable organizations, data from these market segments are used to form a "market composite" to assess the competitiveness of compensation. Programs are designed to be flexible so that compensation can be above or below the median based on experience, performance, and business need to attract and retain specific talent. Governance and procedures: the wdvcb's staff compensation program is administered by the president/ceo, along with appropriate management personnel, of the wdvcb. The president/ceo and management staffs (known as the compensation team) are responsible for establishing and maintaining a competitive compensation program for the staff of the organization. The compensation team meets as needed to review the compensation program and make changes as appropriate. Any member of the management staff that is a member of the compensation team will not have any input or ability to deliberate or approve their own compensation package.”
