Policies

Covid-19 Policy

LTI adheres to the Covid-19 protocols of the facilities we use and the entities we serve. We encourage program participants who have not been vaccinated to mask when we are together in shared spaces, and we support anyone’s desire to mask whether or not they’ve been vaccinated. Our goal is for each of us to feel safe and be safe in the presence of others, so that all may enjoy our time together in good health!

Policy on Suspected Misconduct, Dishonesty, Fraud, and Whistle-blower Protection

If any person knows of or has a suspicion about misconduct, dishonesty or fraud, the Vice President should be contacted. If the alleged wrongdoing concerns the Vice President, then the President of the organization should be notified instead. If the alleged wrongdoing concerns both the President and the Vice President, then the Board Chair should be notified directly.

If the President, Vice President, or other officer of the organization receives information about misconduct, dishonesty or fraud, they shall inform the Board (specifically the Board Chair), which shall determine the procedure for investigating all credible allegations.

At all times, the privacy and reputation of individuals involved will be respected. There will be no punishment or other retaliation for the reporting of conduct under this policy. If the person providing the information requests anonymity, this request will be respected to the extent that doing so does not impede any investigation.

Mitzi Mak

Selah-West Faculty & Emmaus Faculty

Mitzi started her professional life as a high school social studies teacher. She and her husband Jerry then served cross-culturally for ten+ years, living abroad first in India and then Kurdistan, N. Iraq. In addition to being a Spiritual Director, she now serves as a Formation and Care pastor in her local church in Houston, TX. She has graduated from LTI’s Selah Spiritual Direction training as well as LTI’s Emmaus Formational Leadership Program.

Mitzi enjoys engaging conversation, reading fiction, doing jigsaw/crossword puzzles, ocean gazing and exploring the world with Jerry through food and travel.

God has two main callings in Mitzi’s life: to care for those who care for others and to be a guide in helping others have a healthy relationship with the Trinity – recognizing God’s loving presence and activity in their lives and how to faithfully respond.

Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.
