“Every year the conflict of interest policy is reviewed with the board and senior level staff. They are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure. The corporate compliance officer reviews all potential staff conflicts. The executive committee of the board reviews all board conflicts. When a conflict of interest arises, the board shall permit the interested person to make a presentation at the board meeting and after the presentation, the interested person leaves and the board votes on an arrangement that results in the conflict of interest being addressed. If appropriate, a non-interested person or committee investigates alternatives to the proposed arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the board will determine if a more advantageous arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous arrangement is not attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board will determine by majority vote that the arrangement is in the corporation's best interest and for its benefit, and/or if it is reasonable and fair to the corporation.”
