Form 990, part vi, section b, line 12c: the conflict of interest policy is circulated to the board of directors on an annual basis, and each board member is required to signoff on the policy. The executive director and the board of directors oversee this policy and ensure compliance by the board members and employees. A director, the board or the executive committee may initiate review of a director's possible conflict of interest. A director who has an actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest will promptly disclose it to the board or executive committee through the board president (or if the board president is unavailable, through the board vice-president) or directly. A director who has doubt whether there is a conflict of interest will promptly disclose the pertinent facts to the board or executive committee through the board president (or if the board president is unavailable, through the board vice-president) or directly. After any due diligence that the board or executive committee deems appropriate, the interested director will leave the meeting at which the matter is to be addressed while the disinterested members of the board or executive committee address whether there is a conflict of interest. If the board or executive committee determines that the director has an actual apparent or potential conflict of interest, the director will leave the meeting prior to discussion of the matter and will not be present at the vote on the matter. The board will approve the matter only upon a finding by a majority vote of the disinterested directors that to do so is in mbc's best interest and is fair and reasonable to mbc.

A special board meeting is called for the purpose of the salary adjustment, the executive director is not present at such meeting, and the issue is discussed and voted on. Approval at the meeting is documented in the meeting minutes. This process last occured in 2023.
