“A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. A person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the appropriated governing board or committee decided that a conflict of interest exists. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of any known financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board members and members of the committee with power that are considering the transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination is made. The remaining board or committee shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The person who leaves shall still be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum for the meeting. If the governing board or committee has a 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 relief and allow the member the opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after 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 disciplinary and corrective action. The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements will be provided upon written request. The documents are available at the organization's administration office during normal business hours.”
