“The conflict of interest policy is distributed and explained annually to all board members. Prior to each discussion and vote, board members are asked to disclose any conflicts of interest. For each conflict disclosed to the chair, the chair determines what action is necessary. At the very least, the board member with a conflict of interest must recuse himself/herself from discussion and voting on the matter at hand. Some conflicts may result in the necessity for the board member to resign their position on the board of directors. The organization's executive director monitors proposed on-going transactions for conflicts of interest and will disclose any to the board chair in order to address potential conflicts, whether discovered before or after the transaction has occurred.”
