“The council's board of directors require all directors, officers, and key employees to complete and submit an annual statement of disclosure to its executive committee on a form provided by the council detailing, to the best of their ability and knowledge, any facts or circumstances that might constitute a conflict of interest, such as a list of substantial business or investment holdings and other transactions or affiliations with businesses and other organizations and those of family members. Officers, directors, and key employees are encouraged to err on the side of disclosure and to report any set of circumstances that may appear to pose a conflict of interest, even if there is uncertainty as to whether such circumstances should be disclosed. The board further requires such directors, officers, and key employees to submit an amended statement of disclosure to reflect any material changes or additions to the submitted information that may arise during the course of the year. The executive committee will review each statement of disclosure for any set of facts and circumstances that may reflect a potential, apparent, or actual conflict of interest. The executive committee may request the assistance of legal counsel to identify potential or actual conflicts. The executive committee may request additional information from any director, officer, or key employee at any time; however, no individual whose relationships or activities are under review may participate in deliberations, debate, or any vote of the committee while such review is pending.”
