CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Our Board functions according to a state-registered Charter and By Laws, and is guided by currently recognized Parlimentary Procedure and Robert's Rules of Order as necessary when a Point of Order is called or questioned. As dictated by the need for protection of privilege and personnel privacy, sometimes in Executive Sessions, TAC management is currently developing formal plans, policies and procedures for the Center and its Board, staff and volunteers. Until these policies and procedures are ready to be officially presented to the membership and Board for discussion and adoption, it is the position of the Board of Directors to follow a program of checks-and-balances with regard to the Center's daily operations, facility, staff, resources, information flow, chain of command, bookkeeping and accounting. Thus, all Center activity is regularly reviewed at weekly meetings by the Center Treasurer and is monitored daily by the Co-director.For many years, the Center's operations and activities were overseen by a single individual, with the Board and membership providing only nominal advice and tacit approval. Policies and procedures were unclear, undocumented and not comprehensive. What existed was outdated and not aligned to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley guidelines for non-profits.In an attempt to quickly move the Center into SOX compliance, the Board has identified the following as priority in compiling a Policy and Procedure Manual for effective management: 5-year Fundraising and Resource Development Plan Risk Management PolicyVolunteer Training FormsStrategic 5-year PlanManagement and Staff Succession Training PlanWhistle Blower PolicyNon-discrimination PolicyDocument Destruction and Retention PolicyFormal Board and Staff Evaluation Forms |
