“ADL has a written conflict of interest policy approved by the NEC (a leadership body that is authorized to act on behalf of the National Commission) that requires its officers, directors, and employees to annually disclose potential conflicts of interest, those of their family members and of other interested parties. This disclosure form is distributed BY the organization's Human Resources Department (HR) to all staff on an annual basis. HR ensures that all forms are completed and reviews the forms for conflicts. The disclosure form is distributed by the Leadership Division to the members of the national commission on an annual basis. The Leadership Division collects and reviews them for noted officer and director conflicts. A summary and the noted findings are then reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer, who then provides all disclosures to the Audit Committee for further review. The audit committee reviews and determines by majority vote whether a conflict exists. If a conflict is noted involving a member of the audit Committee, that person recuses him/herself from voting.”
