“The conflict of interest form and policy are distributed to voting members of the board of directors on an annual basis. Completed forms are reviewed by the president/chief executive officer, and any documented potential conflicts are brought to the attention of the chair of the board of directors. In cases of conflict or the appearance of conflict, the organization's board members will disclose such conflict prior to taking any action that might be influenced or appear to be influenced by it. Once that disclosure has been made known, the remaining members of the board will determine whether a conflict exists or whether there is a potential for such conflict. The board shall not enter into contracts with its (1) directors; (2) directors of related organizations; (3) organizations with which a director has a material financial interest unless (a) that interest is disclosed or known to the board; (b) the board approves, authorizes or ratifies the action in good faith; (c) the approval is by a majority of the directors (not counting the interested director); (d) a quorum of the board is present (not counting the interested director). In such cases, the interested director may be present at related board meetings to answer questions about the financial relationship but may not advocate for the action to be taken. If a vote is to be taken, the interested director should leave the room. The minutes shall clearly reflect that these requirements have been met.”
