Any interested person who brings a potential conflict of interest to the attention of the board of directors provides the board with any and all relevant information, but retires from the room in which the board meets and does not participate in the final deliberation or decision regarding the matter under consideration. The interested person does not vote on the matter. The minutes of the board reflect that the conflict of interest was disclosed and that the interested person was not present during the final decision or vote and did not vote. When there is a doubt that a conflict of interest exists, the matter is resolved by a vote of the board of directors, excluding the person concerning whose situation the doubt has arisen. A conflict of interest disclosure statement is furnished annually by each director, officer, and staff member who is presently serving the organization, or who may hereafter become associated with it. The conflict of interest policy is reviewed annually for the information and guidance of the directors, officers, and staff members. Any new directors, officers or staff members are advised of the policy and furnish a disclosure statement prior to undertaking the duties of such office.”
