Sailing's public record, made legible. All numbers come directly from this organization's own sworn 990 filing. Patterns are computed from years of filings — not assessments or judgments.

Read trends in context: compare like with like, note the filing year, and treat major disruptions (like 2020–2021) as discontinuities rather than a continuous baseline.

Missing or N/A does not always mean absent. It can mean the item was not disclosed on that form, not collected on that filing type, or not available for that year.

Officers & Key Staff (Part VII)

How to read this section

This is not a full staff directory. It is the subset of people the organization had to disclose in Form 990, Part VII (the officer, director, trustee, key employee, and highest-compensated employee section of the filing). Why this matters: a missing name does not mean a person was not employed or involved.

Total Volunteer Board Hours/Week (Selected Year): 17

Hours per week are self-reported by each officer on Form 990, Part VII. They are not verified.

Officers and directors as reported on Form 990, Part VII. These are typically unpaid, elected positions. If an officer receives compensation, it will appear in the Paid Staff tab.

Operationally, this section is most useful for understanding disclosed leadership structure, compensation visibility, and board labor — not for reconstructing the full staffing model of a club.

Programs (Part III — most recent year)

Form 990, Part III — Statement of Program Service Accomplishments. These are the activities that directly further the organization's exempt purpose. Expenses, grants, and revenue are as reported in the organization's own sworn filing.

The Texas Maritime Museum has a robust educational department that operates year-round. These programs are structured to educate and inspire all ages about Texas maritime history, including H2Odyssey camp, the Winter Lecture Series, and Archeology Day, to name a few. Along with the education department, the Texas Maritime Museum produces its quarterly newsletter, The Beacon, for its members. This …

Governance & Transparency Signals

The IRS Form 990 is a sworn disclosure document — not just a tax return. Beyond financials, it captures governance policies, compensation practices, and relationships between insiders and the organization. Every category below comes directly from that filing. When a field is blank, it is often because this form type doesn’t require it, or the org doesn’t meet the threshold that triggers disclosure. That context is itself worth knowing.

Conflict of Interest Policy

Form 990, Part VI — Line 12a

Yes

This organization has a written conflict of interest policy requiring officers, directors, and key employees to disclose any personal financial interest in a pending decision — and to step back from that vote. Examples in the sailing world: a board member whose construction company is bidding on a dock renovation, or a director who refers their spouse’s firm for the annual audit. Having a policy doesn’t eliminate conflicts; it creates a documented process for surfacing and managing them. Only 41% of organizations in this corpus report having one.

Whistleblower Protection Policy

Form 990, Part VI — Line 13

Yes

A formal process exists for employees, volunteers, or members to report suspected misconduct — and formal protection from retaliation for those who do. This creates a safe channel to flag irregular expense reimbursements, undisclosed vendor relationships, or cash handling questions. In a tight-knit club environment where a small officer corps controls both operations and finances, this protection matters more than the formal policy language might suggest. Only 27.5% of organizations in this corpus report having one.

Officer & Key Employee Compensation (Part VII)

Form 990, Part VII — Named individuals with reportable compensation

Part VII requires individual disclosure of all officers, directors, trustees, key employees, and the five highest-compensated employees earning above the reporting threshold. The individuals listed here are from the most recent available filing.

NameTitleComp from Org
CHAD LEEBOARD OF TRUSTEE$734,580
THOMAS B RODINAOEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR$31,250
KARL HATTMANBOARD OF TRUSTEE$30,380
JUSTIN PARKOFFEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR$24,375
GARRY CATEBOARD OF TRUSTEE$16,450
MICHAEL ABLESEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR$12,500

Compensation shown is reportable compensation from this organization only, as disclosed in Part VII. Most volunteer-run sailing clubs report $0 officer compensation, while larger organizations may report paid executive roles. The figures above show exactly what this filing reports for named individuals.

Independent Compensation Consultant

Schedule J, Part I — Organizations filing when comp exceeds $150K

No independent compensation consultant reported for the most recent year with Schedule J data (2024). Executive pay was set through internal board processes — a compensation committee, comparison to prior years, or board vote — without outside benchmarking. This filing line records the process used, rather than evaluating whether that process is right or wrong.

Equity-Based Compensation

Schedule J, Part II — Per-person compensation detail

○ None reported

No equity-based compensation reported — expected for a nonprofit. Nonprofits cannot issue ownership stakes because they have no shareholders. In the for-profit world, equity aligns executive incentives with long-term value creation; the nonprofit analog takes different forms (retention bonuses, deferred comp) but not equity. Zero percent of organizations in the sailing and yacht club corpus report this. This section reports whether the filing includes that disclosure.

Related-Party Transactions (Schedule L)

Schedule L — Transactions with Interested Persons (officers, directors, their families, controlled entities)

Schedule L requires disclosure of loans, grants, and business transactions between the organization and its own insiders — board members, officers, key employees, and their family members or entities they control. Nonprofits are not prohibited from transacting with insiders, but they must disclose it, follow fair-market-value standards, and document that the transaction benefited the organization, not just the insider. These disclosures exist because self-dealing is the most direct way nonprofit assets can flow to those in control.

No related-party transactions found in our data for this organization. Schedule L is only required when transactions occur — absence means none were reported, not necessarily that none occurred.

IRS Source Filings

Source filings are IRS e-file records in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format — a structured data standard used by the IRS for electronic filing. If you open one of these links, it will look like code. That's not an error — that's what XML looks like. Harbor Commons processes this raw XML and presents the structured, readable view you see above.

Why this matters: the XML is the receipt. Harbor Commons is the reading layer on top of that receipt. If you ever need to verify a number, wording choice, or disclosure, the source filing is where to check.
