“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers all officers and directors. Any director or officer who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined in the policy, is considered an interested person. Directors and officers are required to disclose any potential, apparent, or known conflicts of interest to the members of the governing body annually. The interested person will be excluded from the meeting while the other directors discuss the potential conflict of interest. The remaining members of the governing body will then determine whether an actual conflict of interest exists. Any interested person determined to have a conflict of interest will be excluded from the governing body's discussions and decision on the matter.”

“The members of the governing body use a compensation study to determine the compensation of the executive director. The governing body's determination of compensation and decision are documented in the minutes of the meetings of the governing body. The process was last undertaken in 2015.”

“The center for resilient cities made its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“Food program-the university of wisconsin center for agricultural systems and college of agricultural sciences are initiating a new school for urban agriculture (sua) in partnership with two madison community nonprofits, community groundworks (cgw) and the center for resilient cities (crc), both nationally recognized for their expertise in urban agriculture practice. The sua is supported by a three-year usda higher education challenge grant. The grant's long-term goal is a self-supporting program serving a wide range of students. The sua will recruit and train current and future urban agriculture workers-people interested in gaining skills and knowledge in growing food, building community and earning a livelihood. The school will offer different types of instruction to fit the needs of a range of students, including 1-year and 2-year short-course or technical college students, 4-year uw-madison students, wisconsin high school students, and non-credit community member students. In addition to on-campus training, students will be placed in internships with cgw and crc. Key outcomes of the school will be the development of an urban agriculture curriculum, an evaluation of the first two years of activity, a set of best practices for the partnering of nonprofits with universities, and production of a national urban agriculture community of practice framework. The greater johnsons park initiative is a community-driven action plan to improve the health and safety of an urban milwaukee neighborhood via physical infrastructure improvements and programmatic outreach efforts.”
