“The organization has a conflict of interest policy that is required to be signed and maintained annually by the secretary of the board for each individual board trustee and the key employees are required to have in their personnel file. Disclosures are made to the chief executive officer (or if she or he is the one with the conflict, to the board chair), who brings the matter to the attention of the board or a duly constituted committee thereof. Disclosure involving directors are made to the board chair, (or if she or he is the one with the conflict, then to the board vice-chair) who brings these matters to the board or a duly constituted committee thereof. The board or a duly constituted committee determines whether a conflict exists and in the case of an existing conflict, whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable to project harmony. The decision of the board or committee on these matters will rest in their sole discretion, and their concern must be the welfare of project harmony and the advancement of its purpose. Transactions with parties with whom a conflicting interest exists are only undertaken if all of the following are observed: 1. The conflicting interest is fully disclosed; 2. The person with the conflict of interest is excluded from the discussion and approval of the transaction (unless we decide as per language on page one to allow participation in the discussion phase of the transaction); 3. A competitive bid or comparable valuation exists as required by standard auditing practices; 4. The board has determined that the transaction is in the best interest of the organization.”
