“The Board of Directors meets quarterly to make governing decisions. A vote is taken for any decision and majority approval is required.”

“An email advising each member of the Board of Directors is sent stating that the 990 has been completed and can be viewed at the organizations offices. Anyone not able to come to the office can reply with a request for a hard copy to be mailed.”

“Before being elected to the Board of Directors each candidate is apprised of the conflict of interest policy of the organization. If elected, then future conflicts of interest, if sustained or made possible, are required to be made public at the quarterly meetings and appropriate action by the board will be followed in dealing with the situation.”

“The organizations records are part of the public domain and are available for viewing at our offices upon providing a written request.”

“We started our fiscal year beginning on Sept 1, 2022 with a new priority of focusing more of our resources on Runaways and At-Risk Youth (STAR). Our second program of Screening and Assessment Services, providing Drug and Alcohol Abuse Counseling to Juveniles on probation in Texas Colorado and Fayette counties have been discontinued so that we would have the ability to expand our efforts for our main program.”

“Late in fiscal 2021 (09/01/2021 - 08/31/2022) our executive Director turned in her resignation and our head of accounting went to the hospital for a lengthy stay. After being bedridden for two months she decided to retire. We regrouped with new employees, and a new Executive Director. We also outsourced our accounting. The new accounting service, with the Boards approval, migrated to a newer version of our accounting software, and they reclassified, renamed, and renumbered several accounts in our chart of accounts. Some of our asset accounts had to be re-valued. After a major overhaul of our accounting practices and with a new staff and management we operated the successive fiscal year with a better focus, better employee morale, and better accounting records.”
