Each Trustee and Officer of Messiah College completes a disclosure statement which certifies that they have reviewed the College's Conflict of Interest Policy and discloses personal, familial, and/or business relationships that may in fact or appearance give rise to a conflict of interest. If an actual, potential or apparent conflict arises between the annual filings of the disclosure statements the Trustee or Officer is required to promptly and fully disclose the potential conflict to the Chairperson of the Board. Each actual or potential conflict is addressed on a case-by-case basis by the Chairperson in consultation with the Assurance Committee. The Chairperson and Assurance Committee shall determine if the payments to be made are fair and reasonable, or if otherwise required by the Bylaws and if deemed advisable, refer the transaction to a vote of the Board of Trustees. A Trustee or Officer who is deemed to have a conflict of interest is disqualified from participating in the portion of any meeting of the Board of Trustees which authorizes the contract or other transaction.”
