On an annual basis, each director, officer, and employee completes a conflict of interest disclosure form and acknowledges the policy. Completed annual forms are reviewed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. Additionally, on an annual basis, each current director completes a questionnaire to determine "independence" for purposes of form 990, part vi, line 1(b). The nominating and governance committee in consultation with the general counsel regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the policy by reviewing annual statements and taking such other actions as are necessary for effective oversight.”
