Nwtf Foundation

“Once the 990 form is prepared it is reviewed by the accounting manager, controller, chief executive officer and sent electronically to the board of directors for review.”

“It is the policy of nwtf that no director, officer or employee shall take any action, engage in any activity or place herself or himself in a position which reasonably could be construed to be in conflict with the best interests of the nwtf. Every director, officer and employee has a duty to avoid business, financial or other direct or indirect interests or relationships which conflict with the interests of the nwtf, which divide one's loyalty to the nwtf, or which detract from providing full attention to one's employment responsibilities. Any activities which even appear to present such a conflict, such as receipts of gifts from vendors, work with organizations in competition with the nwtf, or acceptance of mutual employment withany vendor, member-owned or -operated organization, or competing organization must be avoided or terminated unless, after disclosure to the appropriate level of management (which is the employee's direct supervisor - or if the supervisor is not available or if the supervisor is present within the conflict - the human resources director), it is determined that the activity is not harmful to the nwtf or otherwise improper. Employees failing to report such conflicts may be subject to immediate termination.”

“The executive committee shall collectively be responsible for the evaluation of the performance and compensation, and for reviewing the assigned powers and duties, of the office of the executive vice president/chief executive officer. The executive vice president/chief executive officer of the nwtf shall have responsibility for and control of all the nwtf employees. The executive vice president/chief executive officer shall have the responsibility for the hiring and the firing of nwtf employees. Offices for which this process was used and year position was last undertaken are as follows: chief executive officer, 2017; chief financial officer, 2017; chief conservation officer, 2018; vp of operational support, 2008; vp of marketing, 2017 and vp of development, 2017.”
