Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bForm 990 is prepared by an accounting firm and reviewed in detail by the VP of Finance and the SVP of Strategy and Operations, who then provide the Form 990 to the President/CEO, Board Chair, and Finance and Audit Committee of the Board for their review. The return is then provided to the full Board for review and approval before filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe organization monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy with periodic, annually signed statements from employees and board members, which are then reviewed by counsel to identify any potential issues. If an issue is identified, counsel reports it to the President/CEO and the Finance and Audit Committee for their consideration. Board members recuse themselves from votes related to their employers, companies, and any other related entity.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The organization contracted with Forvis Mazars, LLP to produce a compensation market summary report in the fall of 2024. The study relied on comparability data from similarly situated organizations and was used by the Executive Committee of the Board in determining the compensation of the President/CEO in 2025. Data from the study was also used by management in 2025 to evaluate compensation for all other officers and employees, which was then set and approved by the President/CEO.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request. The public disclosure copy of the filed Form 990 is available on the organization's website at texas2036.org.
