Transparency Standards

Trust in leadership doesn't happen automatically — it's built through consistent honesty and openness. The WV Clarity Project holds leaders to a clear standard: the people you serve deserve to know where your money comes from, how you make decisions, where your loyalties lie, and where you're headed. These aren't unreasonable expectations. They're the baseline for anyone asking for public trust.

These standards cover:

  • Honest disclosure of funding sources and financial relationships
  • Openness about how decisions are made and why
  • Clear acknowledgment of conflicts of interest
  • Straightforward communication about future plans and intentions
