The two share a single seat on the board and are entitled to a single vote in board decision making. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990 is reviewed and approved by the Executive Director and the organization's Audit and Finance Committee prior to filing. A copy of Form 990 is made available to all members of the board of directors for review. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The Executive Director collects and reviews conflict of interest statements completed by each board member annually, and communicates any potential conflicts of interest to the individuals involved. Board members who have a conflict of interest are expected to excuse themselves from participation in deliberation and decision making about matters involving the conflict. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Board of Directors authorizes compensation of the Executive Director annually, based on information obtained from informally surveying compensation paid by comparable organizations, most recently in 2013. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents, including the conflict of interest policy, and audited financial statements are available to members of the general public upon request. Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1b The Executive Director's compensation is paid in full by WLCV, but she splits her time between work for WLCV and an unrelated charitable organization, Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters Institute, Inc. Thus officers' compensation reported in Part IX is significantly less than the total compensation reported in Part VII. Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g Other fees for service consist mainly of fees paid for production and distribution of media advertising and polling.
