“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers all board members and employees. Whenever an individual or a family member (defined as a spouse, a child or the spouse of a child) has a financial interest in a matter that comes before the individual for consideration, the individual shall disclose such interest and shall take no part in the consideration or action on the matter. For staff members, the employee should notify his or her supervisor or, in cases where that is inappropriate or undesirable, disclosure may be made to a vice president or the president of the cemetery. For others, disclosure should be made to the chair of the trustees of the cemetery. In the case of a required disclosure by the chair of trustees, disclosure should be made to all of the trustees of the appropriate organization. Each trustee and committee member shall annually sign a statement saying that they have carefully reviewed the conflict-of-interest policy, and shall disclose all personal, business and organizational interests and affiliations that could be construed as being related to the interests of the cemetery and list all positions as an officer or director of other organizations whose purposes or programs might relate to or impinge on those of the cemetery. An individual seeking advice with respect to a potential conflict of interest may bring the matter to the president of the cemetery or to the chair of the trustees of the cemetery for an advisory opinion. Any violation of the conflict of interest policy may, upon vote of the trustees, after hearing, be grounds for removal from office or employment with the cemetery.”
