“CTPA is organized and operated for the benefit of a class of performing arts institutions within the State of Texas, primarily with respect to those institutions within the greater metropolitan Houston area (the "Beneficiaries"). CTPA was formed with three named Beneficiaries acting as Representatives of the Beneficiaries. The named Representatives are Houston Symphony Society, Houston Ballet Foundation and Alley Theatre. CTPA was formed with two classes of Trustees: Public Trustees and Performing Arts Trustees. There are three Performing Arts Trustees and four Public Trustees resulting in a total of seven Trustees. Each of the three Representatives is responsible for appointing a Performing Arts Trustee. If there is a vacancy in the office of a Public Trustee, that vacancy shall be filled by the affirmative majority vote of all remaining Trustees, both Public Trustees and Performing Arts Trustees. However, if there are more Public Trustees entitled to vote than there are Performing Arts Trustees entitled to vote, only the same number of Public Trustees as there are Performing Arts Trustees shall be entitled to vote and the Public Trustee not entitled to vote shall be ascertained by lot. The governing bodies of the Beneficiaries may by official unanimous action remove any or all of the Public Trustees. The resulting vacancies shall be filled as noted above. In addition, each Representative may remove the Performing Arts Trustee appointed by such Representative.”

“The Tax Manager and Accountant of the Greater Houston Community Foundation initially review Form 990. Upon resolution of any questions raised by these two individuals and any changes that result from this review, the completed document is distributed to the Trustor and Chairperson for review and approval prior to filing. An electronic copy of Form 990 is emailed to the Trustees prior to filing and a physical copy is made available to the Trustees at the first meeting following the date the return is filed.”

“The conflict of interest policy is distributed to all Trustees annually. They are asked to acknowledge receipt by returning a signed form. When discussion occurs and/or votes are taken in meetings of the Trustees and a Trustee indicates a conflict of interest, such conflicts are noted in the minutes of the meeting and the Trustee abstains from any vote taken.”
