You must submit a consortium verification
page if one or more of the following apply:
- An outside organization,
including a public agency, is providing
one-third or more of the total match, that organization's Chief Executive
Officer's signature
must be included on the consortium page. Failure to include the
partnering CEO's signature will result in disqualification of the
proposal.
The chief executive officer is the highest-ranking employee
or officer of the partnering group and typically has the ultimate
authority to enter into contracts and commit institutional resources,
e.g., the school district superintendent (not principal nor
curriculum director), agency administrator (not regional or
facility director), or the organization�s executive director.
- An
individual is providing 1/3 or more of the total match, that individual's
signature must be included on the consortium verification page.
Failure to include this signature will result in disqualification of the
proposal.
- A public agency and/or
corporation is involved in the project, regardless of the amount of match they
may provide or compensation they receive, the individual(s) involved
must sign the consortium verification page. For example, if an employee of the Department of Natural Resources will be
serving as a guest speaker, and the DNR will not be providing 1/3 or more
of the total match, then the individual serving as the guest speaker needs
to sign the consortium verification page. If the DNR will be providing 1/3
or more of the total match, then the Secretary of the DNR must sign (see
#1 above), and the individual serving as the guest speaker need not do so,
for the Secretary has signed on the individual's behalf.
- Submitting in the school forest
category or school forest education plan category and the forest is managed in partnership, the consortium verification
page must be
signed by the partnering managing organization.
- Submitting in the school
forest category and the proposal includes any type of forest
management activities (e.g., removing invasive species, harvesting and/or
planting, developing a management plan), the local DNR forester must sign
the consortium verification page even if he/she will not be directly
involved in the project.
Consortium
signatures that are faxed to the applicant and then submitted with the
proposal are acceptable. Consortium verification pages faxed directly to the WEEB office will
not be accepted.
