FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11
THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S INDEPENDENT OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM. ONCE PREPARED IT IS REVIEWED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT. AFTER THE REVIEW BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT, THE FORM 990 IS MADE AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW BY ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRIOR TO FILE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. FOR FY 2011, THIS REVIEW WILL OCCUR AT THE MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON MARCH 15, 2012.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
UWNCA HAS ADOPTED A CODE OF CONDUCT THAT APPLIES TO ALL EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND VOLUNTEERS. EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO CERTIFY IN WRITING THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE CODE OF CONDUCT. BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE CONDUCTED FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. KEY PRINCIPLES THREE OVERARCHING PRINCIPLES HELP TO DEFINE OUR CONDUCT IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DO ON BEHALF OF UWNCA AND ITS MISSION. WHEN A SPECIFIC CORE STANDARD DOES NOT ADDRESS A PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCE OR QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE, YOU ARE ASKED TO VIEW THE ISSUE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE FOLLOWING THREE KEY PRINCIPLES: A COMMITMENT TO INTEGRITY INTEGRITY IS A CENTRAL VALUE FOR ANY PERSON OR ENTITY THAT MEANS TO ACT ETHICALLY. IT IS AN INNER COMPASS THAT HELPS TO STEER EACH OF US IN THE APPROPRIATE AND ETHICAL DIRECTION. IT IS A MATTER OF CHARACTER THAT HELPS US PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY MAKES USE OF SUCH CORE VALUES AS HONESTY AND APPLIES THE MORALS WE LEARNED WHEN WE WERE YOUNG. IT IS AN ORGANIZING FORCE THAT ORGANIZES AND HELPS TO REGULATE OUR IMPULSES AND APPETITES. IT IS AN INNER VOICE THAT URGES US TO ACT WITH CONVICTION AND COURAGE EVEN IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY. A COMMITMENT TO SERVICE SERVICE BEFORE SELF IS ABOUT HOW PROFESSIONAL DUTIES TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER OUR PERSONAL DESIRES. IT EMBODIES THE VERY SPIRIT OF THE ENTIRE UNITED WAY MISSION AND THE "CALLING" THAT MANY OF US FEEL AND EXPRESS. IT IS ABOUT ENSURING THAT WE ALWAYS ACT IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE IDEA THAT THE VERY REASON WE ARE HERE IS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND THOSE IN NEED. INDEED, IT IS AN HONOR TO SO SERVE. A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE EXCELLENCE IS ABOUT MAINTAINING HIGH STANDARDS AND A PASSION FOR CONSTANTLY SEEKING TO IMPROVE EVERYTHING WE DO ON BEHALF OF UWNCA. IT IS ABOUT A PROCESS OF IMPROVING OUR EFFORTS - BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE - ON AN ONGOING BASIS. STATEMENT OF UWNCA CORE STANDARDS INTEGRITY - WE WILL ACT WITH PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY. RESPECT - WE WILL RESPECT OTHERS AND SUPPORT AND PROTECT DIVERSITY. LOYALTY - WE WILL BE LOYAL TO THE UWNCA AND ITS MISSION. CONFIDENTIALITY - WE WILL PROTECT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. RESPONSIBILITY - WE WILL MANAGE OUR RESOURCES IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER MAXIMIZING OUR ABILITY TO ADVANCE THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION. FUNDRAISING - WE WILL PROMOTE VOLUNTARY GIVING. TRANSPARENCY - WE WILL BE OPEN AND CANDID ABOUT OUR ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS. GOVERNANCE - WE WILL GOVERN CAREFULLY AND HONESTLY TO ADVANCE THE MISSION OF THE UWNCA. COMPLIANCE - WE WILL COMPLY WITH OUR CODE, THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE UWNCA AS WELL AS FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS. DUTY - WE WILL SEEK GUIDANCE CONCERNING, AND REPORT BREACHES OF, OUR CODE. THE CODE STATES, "WE WILL NOT ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIVITY OR RELATIONSHIP THAT WOULD CREATE A POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO FAITHFULLY AND LOYALLY PERFORM OUR SERVICE TO THE UWNCA." THE CODE FURTHER STATES, "WE WILL REFRAIN FROM INFLUENCING THE SELECTION OF VENDORS WHO ARE FAMILY MEMBERS OR PERSONAL FRIENDS OR ARE AFFILIATED WITH, EMPLOY, OR ARE EMPLOYED BY A PERSON WITH WHOM THEY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP THAT WOULD CREATE A POTENTIAL OR REAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST." THE CERTIFICATION INCLUDES THAT FOLLOWING STATEMENT, "I FURTHER UNDERSTAND IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO BRING VIOLATIONS OR SUSPECTED VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE TO THE ATTENTION OF [THE ORGANIZATION]." WITH REGARD TO DISCLOSING POTENTIAL CONFLICTS, "WE WILL MAKE FULL DISCLOSURE OF ALL POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. WE WILL ABIDE BY THE OPERATIVE RULE OF THUMB: 'WHEN IN DOUBT' DISCLOSE." THE CEO IN COORDINATION WITH THE ETHICS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, ASSESSES CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENTS AT LEAST ANNUALLY. CONFLICTS ARE ALSO ASSESSED FOR VOLUNTEERS DURING THE GRANTS PROCESS. COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY IS ENFORCED. ETHICS COMMITTEE TO IMPLEMENT AND SERVE ARE A CENTRAL RESOURCE CONCERNING OUR ETHICAL STANDARDS AND THE CODE OF CONDUCT, THE BOARD HAS ESTABLISHED AN ETHICS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD AND CONSISTS OF THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD AND TWO BOARD MEMBERS NOMINATED BY THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD. THE CENTRAL ROLE OF THE CHAIR OF THE ETHICS COMMITTEE IS TO: SERVE AS A CENTRAL AND CONFIDENTIAL PLACE TO REPORT POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL BREACHES OF THE CODE OF CONDUCT. DETERMINE WHETHER REPORTS OF MISCONDUCT INVOLVE ETHICAL ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE PROCESSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REPORTING PROCEDURES SPECIFIED IN UWNCA'S CODE OF CONDUCT AND EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK. MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD CONCERNING WHETHER AN INVESTIGATION OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF THE CODE OF CONDUCT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED AND, IF SO, WHAT ISSUES SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED; WHO SHOULD CONDUCT THE INVESTIGATION; AND WHETHER OUTSIDE LEGAL, ACCOUNTING OR OTHER ADVISORS, AS APPROPRIATE, SHOULD CONDUCT OR ASSIST WITH INVESTIGATIONS OF POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE OF CONDUCT. ACT AS LIAISON BETWEEN UWNCA AND ANY OUTSIDE LEGAL, ACCOUNTING OR OTHER ADVISORS RETAINED BY UWNCA TO ASSIST WITH INVESTIGATION OF CODE OF CONDUCT ISSUES. THE CENTRAL ROLE OF THE UWNCA ETHICS COMMITTEE IS TO: REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD ON AT LEAST AN ANNUAL BASIS CONCERNING THE ETHICS ACTIVITIES AND ISSUES OF UWNCA. RECEIVE REPORTS OF INVESTIGATIONS OF POTENTIAL ETHICAL VIOLATIONS AND, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DETERMINE WHETHER THE UWNCA'S CODE OF CONDUCT HAS BEEN BREACHED AND WHAT, IF ANY, CORRECTIVE ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. IN CONJUNCTION WITH UWNCA LEADERSHIP, ESTABLISH APPROPRIATE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE UWNCA ETHICS EFFORT AND THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ETHICS COMMITTEE.
