Women and Technology-A Partnership

“Each member of the board is provided a copy of the form 990 at a board meeting. Review is conducted at that time.”

“Board members report on a yearly basis whether there are any conflicts of interest. Any director, principal officer or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest in the organization, is covered by the conflict of interest policy. Any interested person has a duty to disclose a financial interest and is given the opportunity to disclose all material facts. After disclosure of a financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interest person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon by the remaining board or committee members.”

“There exists a personnel committee that meets to discuss the executive director's salary based upon evaluating key questions and goals set by the board of directors. This is done on an annual basis.”

“The governing documents, policies and financial statements are available upon request.”

“Women & technology is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in early 2000 in bismarck, north dakota. The organization began with the goal of providing simplified computer resources for rural small businesses, helping business owners incorporate technology as a key business tool. Over the past two decades, we've expanded our focus and services, establishing a track record of supporting underestimated entrepreneurs across north dakota. Today, women and technology delivers high-impact programs, trainings, and events both in person and virtually, enabling clients to overcome barriers like lack of capital/cash flow, time management challenges, and staff recruiting and retention challenges. In addition, women and technology houses programming under ctb and ndwbc. We have two wbcs (ndwbc-east and ndwbc-west) that are partially funded under sba and the two centers together serve the entire state of nd. Ndwbc (north dakota women's business center) is our forward-facing brand that provides essential resources to help women start, grow, and sustain successful businesses. Our offerings include one-on-one business coaching, training, and networking opportunities, connecting clients to capital and other critical resources. Ndwbc is the leading voice resource and partner for women business owners dedicated to amplifying the economic voice of our clients through advocacy and access to critical resources.”
