“There are no separate committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“The finance comittee shall review the annual form 990 and timely report to the board the results of its review. All board members shall be provided a copy of the form 990 for review before it is filed with the internal revenue service.”

“The wptma board is responsible for monitoring the transactions between wptma and insiders to ensure that any transaction between wptma and an insider that is a conflict of interest is fair to wptma and does not grant excessive benefit to the insider. In order to ensure compliance, the officers, directors, and key employees each year disclose in writing interest that could give rise to a conflict under the policy. On an annual basis, wptma's secretary or the secretary's designee develop and maintain a list of insiders who engage in or are reasonably likely to engage in transactions that constitute conflicts with wptma during the year. The secretary or the secretary's designee monitors and enforces compliance with this policy by reviewing the list of insiders, if any, and bringing potential or actual conflicts to the attention of the president or the board.”

“The board decides on the compensation and benefits to offer the executive director based on data from several sources. The executive director is asked to sign a compensation agreement. The performance of the executive director is reviewed by the board and any salary/benefit adjustments are agreed upon. The executive director is then subject to a performance review on an annual basis.”

“The wptma goal is to be transparent and allow public access to appropriate information. The following wptma documents are available to the public for inspection and copying upon written request, during normal business hours: articles of incorporation and bylaws, and any amendments or restatements there to, approved board minutes, and forms 990 for the last three years. The wptma may reasonably charge a requesting party for costs related to providing available documents.”
