Good Samaritan Foundation of Texas Inc

“The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees is composed of not less than five nor more than nine members of the Board of Trustees and the Executive Director, provided that the Executive Director shall be a non-voting member. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees presides at all Executive Committee meetings when present. The Executive Committee assists the Board of Trustees and the Executive Director in carrying out the Foundation's purposes and program. Subject to any limitations on authority which the Board of Trustees may impose, the Executive Committee has all of the authority of the Board of Trustees in the business and affairs of the Corporation except: (i) To amend the articles of incorporation; (ii) To amend, alter, or repeal the Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws; (iii) To fill vacancies in the Board of Trustees; and (iv) To amend or repeal any resolution of the Board of Trustees.”

“The Form 990 is prepared by third party CPA firm that provides the form to the Executive Director for review. A copy of Form 990 is sent to the Chairman of the Board, the Board Treasurer, and the remaining members of the Executive Committee for final review and approval. After careful review and consideration, comments are compiled by the Executive Director. All comments and questions are addressed, discussed, and compared to the annual audit before final submission to the IRS.”

“A copy of the conflict of interest policy is furnished to each trustee, officer, and staff member who serves the Good Samaritan organization or who may become associated with it (volunteers). The policy and its application are reviewed annually for the information and guidance of trustees, officers, and staff members, each of whom has a continuing responsibility to scrutinize their transactions and outside business interests and relationships for potential conflicts of interest, and make full disclosures as described in the policy. Annually, the Board Chair meets with each trustee at the annual board meeting, usually in early November, and asks each trustee to complete a certification of agreement with the policy and to disclose any known conflicts of interest upon their election or re-election to the board. In addition, the Executive Director and each staff member are asked to complete a certification annually by the end of each calendar year.”

“The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees reviews various independent sources of nonprofit industry data regarding the levels and types of compensation paid to persons in the nonprofit sector by job function. Recommendations of the Executive Committee for individual compensation and benefits packages are presented to and approved by the entire board of trustees at the annual meeting held every November.”

“All corporate records are available to the general public for review at the Foundation's main office during normal business hours upon written request.”
