Disclosures involving directors are made to the board chair, (or if she or he is the one with the conflict, then to the board vice-chair) who brings the matter to the board or a duly constituted committee thereof. The board or duly constituted committee thereof determines whether a conflict exists, and in the case of an existing conflict, whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable to the organization. The interested party or parties are excused from the room as the board of directors discusses the disclosure and determines if a conflict of interest exists. The decision of the board, or duly constituted committee thereof, on these matters rests in their sole discretion, and their concern is the welfare of the organization and the advancement of its purpose.
