“The organization's conflict of interest policy is provided to all officers and directors. Annually, these individuals are asked to review the policy and sign a statement indicating that they understand the policy, have reported all potential conflicts during the past year in accordance with the policy and will report all potential conflicts during the coming year. All potential conflicts are evaluated by the president of the board of directors to determine if a conflict actually exists.
