Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

William gerl jr. And peter gerl are brothers.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

Prior to filing the federal tax returns form 990 and 990-t with the internal revenue service both the finance committee also serving the role of the organization's audit committee and board of directors are provided with copies of the return. This provides an opportunity to review, discuss, and approve the current tax returns prior to the actual filing date.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

On an annual basis, all board/committee members and employees of whitetails unlimited are required to review the conflict of interest policy and each individual shall disclose to the organization any personal interest which he or she may have in any matter pending before the organization and shall refrain from participation in any decision on such matter. They must also review a copy of the employee personnel policies which include the whistleblower policy and the organization's code of conduct policy. All employees are required to sign and date a confirmation following review and this is placed in their employee file.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The finance committee is in charge of researching data during their compensation study to confirm that the current compensation (salary & benefits) of the executive director (and other officers and key employees) is fair and reasonable. The data compiled during the annual study includes the following: 1.) information obtained from the irs form 990 filings of similar conservation organizations. 2.) u.s. Bureau of labor statistics. 3.) two other national salary and compensations studies conducted by independent sources. Their conclusion is submitted to the board of directors. In addition, employee performance evaluations are conducted on all employees of the organization. All wage increase recommendations must be formally approved by the board of directors. Historically, annual wage increases have been tied to the consumer price index as a primary reference. The process described here was last completed in 2020.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18

Copies of all irs forms including form's 990 and 990-t, are kept at the corporate headquarters in sturgeon bay, wi and are available to members and the general public during standard business hours. Copies are also available upon request for a nominal fee.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and current financial statements are available to members and the general public during standard business hours.
