“The board members of ana sign disclosure statements upon election or appointment, and every two years. The board of directors formally adopted the use of conflict of interest statements and disclosure forms. The general counsel reviews the disclosure statements and discusses any conflict or potential conflict on the part of an ana board member with the ana chief executive officer (ceo) and president, and follow-up action would be taken as needed. Periodic training for the board of directors includes reference to the members' fiduciary. Obligations, including the avoidance of a conflict of interest. The ana board of directors has an operating policy that prohibits conflict of interest, and the ana president calls for disclosure of conflicts at the beginning of every meeting. Conflicted individuals will not vote on the matter about which they are conflicted, and may or may not participate in the discussion of the matter, depending upon the issue and whether disclosure of the conflict to the board provides enough protection to permit the board member to comment on the matter or to hear the discussion. For the past ten years, ana's practice has been for the board member to leave the room during the discussion. The minutes reflect references to and decisions about conflict of interest.”
