Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1A

The Executive Committee consists of the Board Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. The Board Chair serves as the Chair of the Executive Committee. The Chair may (but is not required to) name a maximum of three additional Directors to serve on the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee has the power to perform all duties (not otherwise required by law or HBG's charter to be performed solely by the Board of Directors) when the Board of Directors is not in session. The Executive Committee has authority to make rules for the holding and conduct of its meetings, keeps records, and regularly reports its actions to the Board.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

The completed Form 990 is initially reviewed by the Treasurer and President. It is then submitted to the Finance Committee to review, discuss, and approve. The 990 is then presented to the entire Board and all members are invited to review and comment. The Board or the Executive Committee then reviews, discusses any comments, and approves the 990 for signature and filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

Each Board Member is provided a copy of the organization's conflict of interest policy annually. The policy requires each Board Member to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. The Board follows the procedures for addressing a conflict of interest as set out in the conflict of interest policy. Conflicted persons may make a presentation to the Board, but may not participate in deliberations or voting on the matter in conflict.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

The salary of the President was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors after researching comparable positions in non-profit organizations and recognizing the unique aspects of this particular position. This process is also followed for other officers.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

Available upon request.

IRS990/Desc0The Houston Botanic Garden enriches lives through discovery, education, and the conservation of plants and the natural environment. The Garden's grand opening in September 2020 provided a major addition to Houston's cultural, educational, and scientific institutions and growing list of urban green spaces. Located a short distance from downtown, the 132-acre site is filled with horticultural displays, natural ecosystems, and walking trails. Through collections, interpretation, and education programs, the Garden provides a beautiful place for visitors to learn about plants, conservation, and nature; connects Houstonians across different cultures and ethnicities; and closes an existing gap in the world-class City's amenities for residents and tourists. See Schedule O.The Garden also participates in scientific research and the conservation of the planet's precious plant biodiversity.
