“The finance committee of the board of directors reviews the form 990 at least one week prior to the board meeting in which the board approves the draft copy. After the committee recommends the form 990 be accepted, each board member receives and reviews an electronic copy prior to the board meeting. The board then votes to approve and file the 990.”

“Each individual shall annually review this policy and recertify their compliance to it. Individuals will complete the conflict or duality of interest questionnaire and return it to the uwwc president. Subsequently, the signed statement will be reviewed by the executive committee and kept on file for the duration of the board member's term or the staff member's employment or the volunteers active status. This annual disclosure is intended to provide administrators, volunteers and staff with a systematic, ongoing method of identifying potential conflicts or dualities of interest. It is recognized that dualities or conflicts of interest are inevitable in a community of our size; however, the board must be assured that such dualities or conflicts do not diminish the achievement of the uwwc mission and objectives. A duality or conflict-of-interest can be considered to exist in any instance where the actions or activities of an individual may also involve the obtaining of a personal gain or advantage or result in an adverse effect on uwwc's interests. Each individual is to list all potential conflicts or dualities of interest; however, this does not necessarily mean that corrective action is necessary.”
