“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers all of its directors and officers. Any director or officer is considered an interested person under the policy. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. The interested person must leave the meeting of the governing body while the determination of a conflict of interest is made. The remaining directors will decide if a conflict of interest exists and will vote on the proposed transaction or arrangement. The organization's directors and officers do not receive any compensation on projects funded by the organization and must recuse themselves from the deliberations and decisions on grant requests from organizations with which they are affiliated.”

“The personnel committee of the governing body annually evaluates the performance of the executive director and submits a written evaluation that includes a compensation recommendation to the executive committee prior to the june council meeting. The executive director may confer with the governing body but is ultimately responsible for evaluating the performance of and establishing compensation for the rest of the organization's personnel using clearly established policies outlined by the university of wisconsin system, of which the organization is administratively affiliated.”

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

“Community powered is an initiative that builds resilience among wisconsin communities by helping them recognize, communicate, and act upon their strengths, their challenges, and their histories to envision a vibrant future. Residents of participating wisconsin communities will experience new ways to unearth and tell stories of their communities and will take concrete steps toward making their hometowns even better places to live. Initial programming will begin next year as the whc will work with four communities from different regions of the state. The whc will hire and train four recent college graduates and pair them with a local librarian in their hometown. With the library serving as the anchor organization, these young people and their librarian partners will be trained in humanities and digital media skills, and then will be supported as they collaborate with local nonprofit organizations, businesses, and citizens to create locally meaningful projects.”
