If during the course of a board meeting, discussion, or deliberation any actual or potential conflict of interest becomes apparent to a board member, the board member must disclose such actual or potential conflict to the board of directors.

In both cases, such disclosure shall be made a matter of record.

If any individual fails to comply with the policy's disclosure requirements, the [secretary/compliance officer] will report such failure to the board of directors, which shall recommend appropriate corrective action.

Upon receipt of a related party transaction review request, the [secretary/compliance officer] shall convene a meeting of the board of directors to review the related party transaction before it is entered into by the foundation. The board of directors shall review the related party transaction to confirm that it is fair, reasonable and in the foundation's best interests to enter into the transaction.
