“Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers annually signs a statement which affirms such person: a. Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, b. Has read and understands the policy, c. Has agreed to comply with the policy, and d. Understands the organization is charitable and that, in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. Procedures for addressing the conflict of interest: a. An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she leaves the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. B. The chairperson of the governing board or committee, if appropriate, appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. C. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee determines whether the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. D. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee determines by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it makes its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”

“In pursuit of its work, the trcp has earned a strong reputation for providing nonpartisan education and advocacy at both the federal and state level to strengthen broad-based conservation efforts, protecting wildlife and fish habitat, and ensuring public access to the nation's lands and waters. The trcp has four policy centers: public lands, private lands, marine fisheries, and water resources. Priorities for each policy center are as follows: public lands: to conserve public lands, the trcp supports management that balances development with fish and wildlife needs including through the identification and conservation of migration corridors and implementation of ecosystem conservation plans, integrating the backcountry conservation management approach into management plan revisions, defending public lands from sale or transfer, and improving access by modernizing agency data and opening landlocked public lands. Private lands: to support conservation of privately-owned agriculture or forest lands, the trcp advocates for an expanded conservation title in the farm bill, strong implementation of working lands conservation programs, and federal funding and action to curb the spread of chronic wasting disease. Marine fisheries: to protect saltwater fisheries, the trcp advocates for modernizing fisheries management approaches regionally and at the federal level, restoring coastal and estuarine ecosystems, and promoting ecological management of forage fish. Water resources: to conserve healthy waterways and habitat, the trcp defends and maintains federal protections for streams and wetlands that promote drought resiliency and advance natural infrastructure solutions.”
