13 Tex. Admin. Code § 30.4 - Texas Heritage Trail Region Management
(a) Each regional organization shall be led
by a Board of Directors which shall appoint a Chair or President to represent
the board in matters related to the participation in the program. All board
members and officers shall reside or work within the geographic boundaries of
the region or otherwise demonstrate an interest and ability to represent the
communities and citizens within the region boundaries.
(b) Unless otherwise approved by the
Commission, each regional organization shall provide a full-time, paid
executive director with professional qualifications relevant to fulfilling the
organization's heritage tourism mission activities, and terms of this chapter.
For the purposes of this chapter, full-time employment means that the executive
director works at least forty (40) hours per week.
(c) Each regional organization shall keep the
Commission apprised of any executive director vacancy and shall move forward in
an efficient manner to fill any vacancy of the position. Vacancy of the
executive director position for greater than six (6) consecutive months may be
considered cause for termination of regional organization's participation in
the program by the Commission. A regional organization may request permission
from the Commission to operate without a full-time, paid executive director due
to financial or other extraordinary considerations. The Commission may grant
such request, in its sole discretion, if it determines that the regional
organization demonstrates the necessity for operating without a full-time, paid
executive director and demonstrates the ability for the regional organization
to fulfill its mission and the remainder of its obligations to the Commission
and program in a manner that adequately serves the traveling public and
regional constituents.
(d) The
responsibility for selection, salary, employment and employee-related legal
matters remains with the regional organization. Each executive director, and
all other staff of regional organizations, shall not be considered employees,
agents or contractors of the Commission for any purpose.
(e) Each regional organization shall provide
the Commission with a copy of the organization's bylaws, articles of
incorporation, and/or other mission statements and organizing or operational
principles, including revisions and updates to these documents that occur
during participation. Any revisions or updates to these documents shall be
provided to the Commission no later than sixty (60) days after adoption by the
regional organization.
(f) Each
regional organization shall ensure that its bylaws and other organizing
principles retain primary focus on the THTP and the development and promotion
of heritage tourism within the region and Texas.
