The significant changes to the bylaws are: Section 3.1 Except as otherwise provided in the Act, articles of incorporation, or bylaws, all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by, its board of directors. Any appointment, determination, or action designated in these bylaws to be made by AARP shall be deemed made when evidenced in writing signed by the Chief Executive Officer of AARP (or his or her designee). Section 3.2(b) Reduced the total number of allowable directors from 19 to 17. A minimum of 5 directors is required. Section 3.2(c) Created 3 classes of Directors (1) Class A shall consist of up to two persons appointed as Class A Directors by AARP (2) Class B shall consist of one director, referred to as the Founder Director and shall be reappointed by AARP to successive terms without restriction to the number of terms (3) Class C shall consist of those persons who were directors of the corporation immediately prior to the Effective Date and who are re-appointed by AARP as of the Effective Date, and thereafter, those who may be reappointed by AARP as Class C Directors to subsequent terms Section 3.2(d) Established two-year terms with a 4 term limit for Class A & C Directors Section 3.3 Established specific procedures for the resignation, removal, and vacancies for the various classes of directors. Section 3.6(a) Notice of each meeting of the board of directors stating the date, time, and place of the meeting shall be given to each director at least ten (10) days, for regular meetings, and two (2) days, for special meetings Section 3.7 Established that a Class A Director must be present to constitute a quorum and that failure to attend three or more consecutive board meetings is cause for removal of any director Section 3.8 Outlined special voting requirements for disaffiliation from AARP Section 5.3 Adoption of AARP's Conflicts of Interest Policy Section 7.4 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. Immediately following the affiliation and appointment of the WISH Directors the following AARP policies were adopted: Whistleblower Policy Document Retention Policy Gift Acceptance Policy Policy on Personal Political Activity, and Code of Conduct Wish of a Lifetime will also adopt any other governance and management policies as AARP shall identify and as AARP shall have, prior to such date of identification, adopted for itself and shall have determined are relevant to the conduct of WISH's activities. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a The 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. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b The 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.

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 11b The 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 12c Annually, 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 15a Through 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.
