Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bThe AARP Chief Executive Officer (or his or her designee) appoints up to 17 voting members of the WISH board of directors. All prospective members of the WISH board will be subject to the screening protocols for board members of AARP Affiliates. Any director other than the Founder Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written direction of AARP. The Founder Director may be removed only for reasonable cause by written direction of AARP. The WISH bylaws provide that the power to alter, amend or repeal the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws shall be vested in the board of directors, but the exercise of this power shall be subject to the prior written approval of AARP.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Form 990 is prepared and reviewed in AARP's internal tax department. The return is then put through a secondary review which includes the Wish of a Lifetime Executive Director, Group Controller, and other accounting management. After this thorough review process, the Form 990 is distributed to the Board of Directors for their review. After all issues are addressed the return is electronically filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cAnnually, all board members and employees (including officers) are required to review the Code of Conduct, formally acknowledge their understanding of the Code, and disclose any real or potential conflicts of interest. Disclosures are reviewed by appropriate management (or in the case of a board member, the Board Chair, and if necessary, the Board of Directors) and the Ethics & Compliance Office. The appropriate resolution plan is implemented (for example, recusal from participating in any deliberations and decisions relevant to the disclosure). The Ethics & Compliance Office monitors compliance with these requirements and ensures proper follow-up as needed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aThrough its shared services agreement with AARP, WISH participates in AARP's enterprise wide compensation reviews. AARP has a competitive position in the marketplace that considers relevant for-profit and not-for-profit data since this is the landscape in which AARP and its affiliates compete for talent. Establishing the appropriate compensation for positions and jobs considers external market pricing (where possible) from an independent, third party compensation firm, internal criteria, and an individual's actual performance and contribution. Internal criteria are based on a standard approach that measures the internal value of positions, including: complexity and scope of responsibility, skill set and competencies, education and experience, and the reporting relationship of the position. An individual's actual performance and contribution is measured through AARP's performance management approach and then rewarded through AARP's annual base pay merit and incentive award programs. This process applies to all employees of WISH including the Executive Director. Based on the process described above, the Executive Director's compensation package is approved by the WISH Board of Directors.
