“Enforcement of conflicts policy - our conflict of interest policy is within our bylaws and prominently identified as such therein. All persons within our organizationhave been provided with a copy of our by-laws. Our organization presently consists of an Executive Director, four or five member of our Board of Trustees, two outside consultants, a few volunteers, and no one else. Because we do not conduct financial transactions with individuals or organizations other than with our two outside consultants, our operations very seldom raise any possibility of conflicts of interest among persons within our organizaiton. Thus, for enforcement of our conflict of interest policy, we rely upon personal knowledge, and initiative of persons within our organization.”
