“The Board Chair reviews the Form 990 prior to providing a copy to all board members and filing with the IRS.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

“The conflict of interest policy is distributed annually to the Board and signatures affirming understanding of the policy are obtained. Responses are collected and any conflicts are discussed with the ED and President of the Board, and then reported to the entire Board. In the event that the board considers an issue that involves a financial relationship between the organization and a member of the board, the board member will disclose his/her financial relationship, with respect to the issue. The board member will refrain from voting on the matter.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management

“The Executive Director's salary is based on a wage and benefits survey conducted by United Way of Greater Houston. The survey of local nonprofits uses agency size, budget and responsibilities as in its salary assessment. The Board approves the Executive Director's salary. The Executive Director approves all other salaries. All employees undergo a review by supervisors before being eligible for salary changes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available

“The organization makes available governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements to the public by request, others' websites, by mail, or e-mail.”
