“Each participant of the organization is considered a member.”

“The members of the governing body (jatt) are appointed by the sponsoring organizations (wisconsin chapter of neca for the employer representatives and ibew local 14 for the employee representatives). None of the jatt members have the authority, in and of themselves, to appoint members to the jatt.”

“The decisions of the governing body (jatt) are reserved strictly to the members of the body. No other individuals are authorized to make decisions on the body's behalf. The jatt coordinator and staff members of ibew local 14 carry out those decisions, but none other than the jatt members are authorized to make those decisions.”

“The prepared form 990 is reviewed by the organization's management and approved by the organization's board of trustees before the return is filed with the irs.”

“Annually, the organization's trustees are required to sign an acceptance of trusteeship that includes the disclosure of possible conflicts of interest. The signed agreements are kept on file at the organization's administrative office and are reviewable by the board of trustees as necessary. Any trustee determined to have a conflict of interest is prohibited from participating in the board of trustee's deliberations and decisions on the action/transaction.”

“Any individual or entity wishing to view the organization's governing documents, conflict-of-interest policy, or financial statements must contact the organization's management. The organization's management will then decide which documents will be made available.”
