If a conflict of interest arises, the matter may be remedied via recusal or disqualification of the board member. This simply means that the board member does not participate in the matter that poses the conflict of interest. In the event of a violation of the conflict interest policy, the agency reserves the right to immediately dismiss the employee or board member of interest.”
