“The directors, officers, and key employees sign a copy of the conflict of interest policy on an annual basis. In addition, directors must disclose any transaction which likely amounts to an actual or potential conflict of interest to the board and executive committee, and abstain from any discussion about the potential transaction. If any matter comes before the board in such a way as to give rise to a conflict of interest, the affected directors shall make known the potential conflict and, after answering any questions posed by other directors shall withdraw from the meeting for so long as the matter shall continue under discussion and shall abstain from all voting with respect to such matter. The affected director may be counted to establish a quorum for a meeting at which an action in which such director has an interest is being considered, but not in determining a majority vote to authorize the transaction. The organization discloses the transaction and the voting details in its minutes. This includes the names of the persons present for discussion and voting, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the discussion, and a record of any votes taken. The organization also documents the process it undertook to verify that the transaction is fair. Directors are required to disclose this interest in writing on the annual acknowledgement of code of ethics and conflicts of interest questionnaire.”
