The corporate compliance officer reviews all potential staff conflicts. The executive committee of the board reviews all board conflicts. When a conflict of interest arises, the board shall permit the interested person to make a presentation at the board meeting and after the presentation, the interested person leaves and the board votes on an arrangement that results in the conflict of interest. If appropriate, a non-interested person or committee investigates alternatives to the proposed arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the board will determine if a more advantageous arrangement with reasonable effort from a person or entity would not give rise to a conflict of interest.
