“In the event any director has a conflict of interest that might properly limit such director's fair and impartial participation in board deliberations of decisions, such director shall inform the board as to the circumstance of such conflict. If those circumstances require the nonparticipation of the affected director, the board may nonetheless request from the director any appropriate nonconfidential information which might inform its decisions. "conflicts of interest," as referred to herein, shall include but shall not be limited to, any transaction by or with the corporation in which a director has a direct or indirect personal interest, or any transaction in which a director is unable to exercise impartial judgment or otherwise act in the best interest of the corporation. No director shall cast a vote, nor take part in the final deliberation in any matter in which he or she, member of his or her immediate family, or any organization to which such director has allegiance, has a personal interest that may be seen as competing with the interest of the corporation. Any director who believes he or she may have such a conflict of interest shall so notify the board prior to deliberation as to whether any director has a conflict of interest in any matter. The minutes of the board meeting shall reflect disclosure of any conflict of interest and the recusal of the interested director. The organization is in the process of revising its conflict of interest policy to be in compliance with the new york nonprofit revitalization act which requires annual disclosures and specific procedures to consistently monitor and enforce compliance.”
