| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 | The Board of Directors includes directors who are officers, directors, or employees of Washington Technology Industry Association, an affiliated Section 501(c)(6) organization. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | The organization's activities are governed by a seven member board of directors, all of whom serve without compensation. The Board of Directors is self-perpetuating (i.e., the board elects its own members). The organization's bylaws, however, provide that four of the seven Directors, known as "WTIA directors," must be either: 1) officers, directors, or employees of WTIA (Washington Technology Industry Association), or 2) other individuals that WTIA has deemed acceptable in a written record provided to this organization's board. This arrangement, in which directors are related to WTIA but selected by the existing directors rather than WTIA, is intended to ensure the affiliation between WTIA and this organization is maintained, while allowing this board to operate its programs and select grantees independently of WTIA. WTIA does not select grantees or make any management decisions for this organization. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Form 990 was prepared under the direction of the controller and the chief financial officer of the WTIA (Washington Technology Industry Association) by the independent accounting firm SCHOEDEL & SCHOEDEL, Certified Public Accountants, PLLC. A draft copy of the organization's Form 990 was first provided to the WTIA's controller and chief financial officer, who reviewed the Form 990 for accuracy and completeness. Any questions, concerns, or issues raised by those individuals were addressed, and any necessary revisions were made to the Form 990. The revised Form 990 was then provided to the board of directors for its review and approval. Any additional questions, concerns, or issues raised by the board of directors were addressed, and any necessary revisions were made to the Form 990. The final version of the Form 990 was reviewed and approved for filing by the president of the board of directors. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | To ensure the organization operates in a manner consistent with its tax-exempt purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, management continuously conducts reviews of contractual arrangements. The reviews include, at a minimum, the following: Whether the contractual arrangements with service providers and the services provided are reasonable, based on competent market and survey information, and the result of arm's length negotiation. Whether contractual arrangements with service providers and arrangements with other organizations conform to written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further tax-exempt purposes, and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction. Whether any transaction conducted by the organization involves or could possibly give rise to a conflict of interest. Additionally, each director, officer, or member of any committee of the Board of Directors that has authority to act on behalf of the Board of Directors, and those employees who may be designated by the President of the WTIA Workforce Institute (covered person) complete an annual conflict of interest questionnaire. No covered person may engage in any transaction or arrangement or undertake positions with other organizations that involve a conflict of interest, except in compliance with the Conflict of Interest Policy. Covered persons should avoid both actual conflicts and the appearance of conflicts of interest. Every person discloses all actual and potential conflicts, as stated below, and recuses himself/herself from voting on any transaction or arrangement in which he/she has a potential or actual conflict of interest, and is not present when any such vote is taken. Each covered person promptly and fully discloses all material facts of every actual or potential conflict of interest: existing at the time when he/she becomes a covered person; that arises while he/she is a covered person, at the time such actual or potential conflict arises; and annually through the annual conflict of interest questionnaire. All disclosures involving a transaction or arrangement being considered at a meeting of the board or a committee are made to all members present at such meeting. All other disclosures are made to the president (who discloses his or her conflicts to the Board of Directors). The President discloses to the Board of Directors all conflicts of interest reported to him or her under this policy. The Board of Directors evaluates the disclosures to determine whether they involve actual conflicts of interest and may attempt to develop alternatives to remove the conflict from the situation. The corporation may enter into a transaction or arrangement in which a covered person has a conflict of interest if: the covered person has disclosed the conflict of interest in accordance with the policy; a majority of directors who have no interest in the transaction or arrangement approve the transaction or arrangement at a board or committee meeting after determining, in good faith and after reasonable investigation, that the transaction or arrangement is fair and reasonable to the corporation and is in the corporation's best interest; any covered person who has an actual or potential conflict with respect to the transaction or arrangement does not participate in and is not present for the vote regarding any such transaction or arrangement (provided, however, that any such covered person may appear at a meeting to answer questions concerning the transaction or arrangement); and the Board of Directors relies upon appropriate comparability data, such as an independent appraisal or an independent compensation study, in reaching its determination as to the fairness and reasonableness of the transaction or arrangement to the organization. It will not be a violation of the policy if all the requirements for formal approval, outlined above, are not satisfied, so long as the transaction or arrangement is in fact fair to the corporation, furthers its tax-exempt purposes, and does not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit, or an excess benefit transaction under laws applicable to organizations exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The minutes of the Board of Directors or any committee of the board for any meetings described above will contain the names of the persons who disclosed an actual or potential conflict of interest or otherwise were found to have a conflict of interest, and the nature of the conflict of interest, as well as the names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement considered and the appropriate comparability data relied upon, and a record of any votes taken. The minutes of any meeting will be prepared by the latter of the next succeeding meeting of the Board of Directors or committee, or 60 days after the final action on the matter is taken by the Board of Directors or committee. Each covered person will sign a statement acknowledging that he or she has received a copy of the policy, has read and understands it, and agrees to comply with it. If the Board of Directors has reasonable cause to believe that a covered person has failed to comply with this policy, the board may counsel the covered person regarding such failure and, if the issue is not resolved to the board's satisfaction, may consider additional corrective action as appropriate. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The compensation of the chief executive officer of the Washington Technology Industry Association (WTIA) and the executive director of the WTIA Workforce Institute is reviewed annually by a committee appointed by the WTIA Board of Directors. The committee is composed of individuals independent of the employees being evaluated. The committee considers all relevant factors including (but not limited to): level of experience, performance reviews, and published compensation of similar positions in other organizations. The compensation committee's deliberations are recorded. The conclusions and supporting information of the compensation committee is reported to WTIA's executive committee. The executive committee reviews the compensation committee's report and makes a recommendation of compensation to the WTIA Board of Directors. The WTIA Board of Directors sets the compensation levels. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, financial statements and Form 990 available to the public by contacting the organization in writing at: 1595 NW Gilman Blvd, Suite 6B, Issaquah, WA 98027. |
| Form 990, Part VII, Section A, line 1A: | The organization does not compensate any members of the Board of Directors. The Board is composed of seven individuals. One Director is the Chief Executive Officer of the Washington Technology Industry Association (the WTIA). The rest of the Directors are employed by member organizations of the WTIA. All Directors are fiduciaries and understand their obligations under the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, conflict of interest policy, and other policies and procedures. The organization does not readily have access to information related to compensation paid to the Directors by entities other than the WTIA. The Directors serve on a voluntary basis. For their services on the Board, the Directors receive no known compensation adjustment from their employers, or any other party. |
