named defendant or respondent in any proceeding as a result of his/her actions or omissions within the scope of his/her official
capacity in TAHPERD. For the purpose of this article, an agent includes one who is or was serving at the request of TAHPERD as a director, officer, trustee, employee benefit plan, or other agency. However, TAHPERD shall indemnify a person
only if she/he acted in good faith and reasonably believed that the conduct was in TAHPERD’s best interests. In a case of a
criminal proceeding, the person may be indemnified only if she/he had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was
unlawful. TAHPERD shall not indemnify a person who is found liable to TAHPERD or is found liable to another on the
basis of improperly receiving a personal benefit. A person is conclusively considered to have been found liable in relation to
any claim, issue, or matter if the person has been adjudged liable by a court of competent jurisdiction and all appeals have been
made and exhausted.
(b) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent
does not necessarily preclude indemnification by TAHPERD.
(c) TAHPERD shall pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director, officer, member, committee member, employee, or agent
of TAHPERD in connection with the person’s appearance as a witness or other participation in a proceeding involving or
affecting TAHPERD when the person is not a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.
(d) In addition to the situations otherwise described in this paragraph, TAHPERD may indemnify a director, officer, member,
committee member, employee, or agent of TAHPERD to the extent permitted by law. However, TAHPERD shall not indemnify
any person on any situation in which indemnification is prohibited by the terms of Section 13.1 (a) above.
(e) Before the final disposition of proceeding, TAHPERD may pay indemnification expenses permitted by these Bylaws and
authorized by the Board of Directors of TAHPERD. However, TAHPERD shall not pay indemnification expense to a person
before the final disposition of a proceedings if: the person is named defendant or respondent in any proceeding brought by
TAHPERD, the person is alleged to have improperly received a personal benefit, or the person is alleged to have committed
willful or intentional misconduct.
(f) If TAHPERD is permitted to indemnify a person under these Bylaws, such a person may be indemnified against judgments,
penalties, (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including attorney’s fees) actually
incurred in connection with the proceedings.
Section 13.2. Procedures Relating to Indemnification Payments.
(a) Before TAHPERD pays any indemnification expenses (including attorney’s fees), TAHPERD shall determine that indemnification is permissible, authorize indemnification and determine that expenses to be reimbursed are reasonable, except as provided
in Section 13.2 (c) below. TAHPERD may make these determinations and decisions by any one of the following procedures:
1.) Majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who, at the time of the vote, are not named defendants or respondents
in the proceeding.
2.) If such a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors, designated to act on the
matter of a majority vote of all directors, consisting solely of three or more directors, who at the time of the vote are not
named defendants or respondents in the proceedings.
3.) Determination by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors by vote as provided in Section 13.2 (a)(1), or if
such a quorum cannot be obtained and such a committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of all directors.
4.) Majority vote of members of the representative Assembly, excluding directors who are named defendants or respondents
in the proceedings.
(b) TAHPERD shall authorize indemnification and determine that expenses to be reimbursed are reasonable in the same manner
that it determines whether indemnification is permissible. If the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by
2015 Directory
211
special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and determination of reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the
manner specified by Section 13.2 (a)(3) above, governing the selection of special legal counsel. A provision contained in the
Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or a resolution by the Representative Assembly or the Board of Directors that requires
that indemnification permitted by Section 13.1 above constitutes sufficient authorization for indemnification even though the
provision many not have been adopted or authorized in the same manner as the determination that indemnification was permissible.
(c) TAHPERD shall pay indemnification expenses before final disposition of a proceeding only after TAHPERD determines that
the facts then known would not preclude indemnification, and TAHPERD receives a written affirmation and undertaking
from the person to be indemnified as provided herein below. The determination that the facts then known to those making
the determination would not preclude indemnification and authorization of payment shall be made in the same manner as a
determination that indemnification is permissible under Section 13.2 (a) above. The person’s written affirmation shall state
that she/he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under these Bylaws. Such person’s written undertaking shall provide for repayment of the amount paid or reimbursed by TAHPERD if it is ultimately determined that the
person has not met the requirements for indemnification. The undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of the
person, but it need not be secured and it may be accepted without reference to the financial ability to make repayment.
(d) Any indemnification or advance of expenses shall be reported in writing to the members of TAHPERD. The report shall be
made no later than in the second publication of the TAHPERD Journal following the date of the indemnification or advance.
ARTICLE 14: NOTICES

the equivalent to the giving of the notice. A waiver of notice shall be effective whether signed before or after the time stated in the
notice being waived.

unless the person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully

Conflict of Interest in Presentations
TAHPERD conference presentations are for the purpose of sharing information that (a) helps members fulfill their roles as professionals, and (b) helps TAHPERD accomplish its mission. It is inappropriate for presenters to use presentations to directly solicit sales
or service contracts, unless that privilege has been contracted through the TAHPERD office (contact the TAHPERD office regarding
current fees for professional presentations).
Soliciting sales/service contracts is defined as:
announcing the name/manufacturer of facilities or equipment during a presentation, if the presenter has any financial association
with the product or manufacturer;
announcing contact information for a provider of services (i.e., educational consulting, workshops, in-service presentations) if the
presenter has any financial association with that provider;
presenting information or methodology that solely utilizes facilities, equipment, or services with which the presenter has a financial
association.

Whistleblower Policy - Board of Directors, Foundation & Trustees
The Texas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (TAHPERD) Code of Ethics and Conduct requires
directors, officers and employees to observe high standards of business and personal ethics in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities. As employees and representatives of TAHPERD, we must practice honesty and integrity in fulfilling our responsibilities
and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Reporting Responsibility
It is the responsibility of all directors, officers, and employees to comply with the Code and to report violations or suspected violations
in accordance with this Whistleblower Policy.
Retaliation
No director, officer or employee, who in good faith, reports a violation of the Code shall suffer harassment, retaliation, or adverse
employment consequence. An employee who retaliates against someone who has reported a violation in good faith is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment. This Whistleblower Policy is intended to encourage and enable employees
and others to raise serious concerns within the Organization prior to seeking resolution outside the Organization.
Reporting Violations
The Code addresses the TAHPERD’s open door policy and suggests that employees share their questions, concerns, suggestions or
complaints with someone who can address them properly. In most cases, an employee’s supervisor is in the best position to address
an area of concern. However, if you are not comfortable speaking with your supervisor or you are not satisfied with your supervisor’s
response, you are encouraged to speak with someone in the Human Resources Department or anyone in management whom you
are comfortable in approaching. Supervisors and managers are required to report suspected violations of the Code of Conduct to the
Organization’s Compliance Officer, who has specific and exclusive responsibility to investigate all reported violations. For suspected
fraud, or when you are not satisfied or uncomfortable with following the Organization’s open door policy, individuals should contact the
Organization’s Compliance Officer directly.
Compliance Officer1
The Organization’s Compliance Officer is responsible for investigating and resolving all reported complaints and allegations concerning violations of the Code and, at her/his discretion, shall advise the Executive Director and/or the audit committee. The
Compliance Officer has direct access to the audit committee of the board of directors and is required to report to the audit committee
at least annually on compliance activity. The Organization’s Compliance Officer is the chair of the audit committee.
2015 Directory
267
Accounting and Auditing Matters
The audit committee of the board of directors shall address all reported concerns or complaints regarding corporate accounting practices, internal controls, or auditing. The Compliance Officer shall immediately notify the audit committee of any such complaint
and work with the committee until the matter is resolved.
Acting in Good Faith
Anyone filing a complaint concerning a violation or suspected violation of the Code must be acting in good faith and have reasonable
grounds for believing the information disclosed indicates a violation of the Code. Any allegations that prove not to be substantiated
and which prove to have been made maliciously or knowingly to be false will be viewed as a serious disciplinary offense.
Confidentiality
Violations or suspected violations may be submitted on a confidential basis by the complainant or may be submitted anonymously.
Reports of violations or suspected violations will be kept confidential to the extent possible, consistent with the need to conduct an
adequate investigation.
Handling of Reported Violations
The Compliance Officer will notify the sender and acknowledge receipt of the reported violation or suspected violation within five
business days. All reports will be promptly investigated and appropriate corrective action will be taken if warranted by the investigation.
1Note:
Compliance officer could be a committee of the board, a designated director, or a third party such as an HR Specialist or the
board attorney.

Handbook of Duties & Procedures for Officers
TAHPERD Handbook of
Duties & Procedures for Officers
The Texas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance is the primary professional organization for
developing and promoting the disciplines and professions of health, physical education, recreation, and dance in the State of
Texas. The Association is a professional organization committed to the development of knowledge and programs that foster
active and healthy lifestyles and to the enhancement of skilled and aesthetic motor performance.
As a member-driven association, the officers are elected by the membership to develop, monitor, and utilize the rules of governance to carry out the business of the Association. The success of TAHPERD continues to be the result of shared governance
and the cooperative efforts of volunteer leaders. TAHPERD governance is structured such that all volunteers are expected to
work together in their decision-making. This structure also provides an “elect” year for new officers to learn the governance
process and the strategic plan of their particular area. The Officers’ Handbook describes the duties and responsibilities of the
officers of TAHPERD.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is composed of the President, President-elect, Past President, and Executive Director. As a structure of
the highest elected officers and the State Office Director, their collaborative governing efforts for TAHPERD carry some of the highest responsibilities. Some of these responsibilities include:
1. multiple meetings (either face-to-face, conference calls, or email) to assure that Board action is being implemented and to conduct Association business between Board meetings;
2. to develop plans with the State Office for the convention and conferences;
3. to monitor the establishment and progress of goals by the Divisions, Sections, and Committees; and
4. to monitor the work and effectiveness of the Executive Director
The Executive Committee must be knowledgeable of the operation of all governance structures and initiate action to ensure proper
supervision and adequate discharge of responsibilities and duties.
The Executive Committee supervises the Executive Director for the Board of Directors who has the ultimate responsibility for the
employment of the Executive Director. While the Executive Director is responsible to all TAHPERD members, the office is a professional position with responsibilities and duties comparable to those of the three Presidents in scope and importance.
President
The President is responsible for the effective shared governance of the Association. This includes the Executive Committee, Board
of Directors, Representative Assembly, TAHPERD committees, Trustees, and Texas Foundation for HPERD. While the responsibility for all officers and committee chairs are under the direction of the President, immediate supervision should be delegated. For
example, the Vice Presidents should supervise the officers in their respective divisions and sections.
As the presiding officer of the Board of Directors, the President serves as the Chair of the Executive Committee, Board of Directors,
and Representative Assembly. Through consultation with the Executive Committee, the presiding officer develops the agendas and
conducts the meetings.
Outlined hereinafter are specific duties of the President, categorized according to general function. Where applicable these duties
should be examined and implemented in relation to those listed under the same headings for the Executive Director.
Appointments
Through consultation with the Executive Committee, the President makes appointments for the Association structures listed below.
The appointments are made while he/she is serving as President-elect when the selection and notification are done prior to the effective date of the appointments. Other appointments are made as needed and in accordance with the Bylaws and/or Operating Codes.
Appointments must be made within restrictions imposed by the Bylaws and/or Operating Codes. The Executive Director will provide
a list of all committees with members’ terms and descriptions of the vacancies to be filled. The appointments will be included in the
21-day mailing to the Board of Directors prior to the Fall Board meeting. The Board of Directors must approve all appointments.

President should confirm this reappointment with the current Chair.
The term of the members and Chairs of a President’s Ad Hoc Committees will coincide with that of the appointing

Trustees
The purpose of the Trustees is to supervise the investment of funds belonging to the TAHPERD Trust and managed by Kanaly Trust
Company of Houston, Texas. As a group of five (5) individuals, they recommend policy governing receipts and expenditures of the
“Trust” so as to maximize the investment growth and revenue. Trustees serve five-year (5) terms, and each President appoints one
(1) new Trustee that must then be approved by the Board of Directors. Qualifications for service as a Trustee should include background and interest in the management of financial investments and there should be evidence of fiscal responsibility for such management. They should also have a good understanding of TAHPERD’s budget and financial needs. Of utmost importance is a thorough knowledge of the structure and operation of the Association, and ideally a Trustee would have served as an officer.
Responsibilities of the Chair of the Trustees include:
1. Review (along with the Executive Director) prospective purchases/sales of stocks, bonds, notes, etc., as suggested by Kanaly
Trust officers and give approval for such trades when appropriate.
2. Plan the agenda and preside at all meetings of the Trustees.
