“In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the trustees and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, the interested person shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate action, including any corrective action.”

“News magazine: the foundation fosters strong relations between the military and the private sector, maintains contact with the alumni, and encourages excellence in the faculty and student body through publication of our award-winning foundation news magazine published twice a year. The magazine informs the public of the importance of the cgsc mission, of the nature and success of foundation programs in support of the college, and provides information about graduates and other items of interest. Each edition has a feature titled "cgsc 101" which informs about one of the cgsc schools or teaching departments. In the spring 2016 edition, we featured the 7th annual ethics symposium with the first ever cover photo of an international military student and we featured the department of command and leadership. In the fall 2016 edition, we featured the celebration of international friendship with the cgsoc class president and ims class adjutant featured on the cover, and the department of logistics and resource operations as the featured department. The e-magazine format continues to receive greater distribution. The magazine emphasizes content rather than advertising and is a key element in the foundation's strategic communications program. Alumni contact: the foundation maintains contact with alumni through our web presence, our dedicated alumni web connect capability, and our social media presence. In 2016, we began a process of finding, contacting, and engaging cgsc alumni in order to better support this mission. Our efforts saw modest success in 2016. In addition, we presented each member of the class of 2016 with a commemorative poker chip recognizing their graduation and encouraging them to stay in touch. We continue to refine and elevate the content on our website and social media outlets in order to stay connected with our alumni and meet this important mission set.
