“The organization has a board approved conflicts of interest policy. The conflict of interest declaration is signed annually by board members. Signed declaration forms are collected by a staff member appointed by cms's secretary. If any board member reports a potential conflict of interest, the appointee informs the secretary accordingly. Prior to board action on a contract or transaction involving a conflict of interest, a member having a conflict of interest and who is in attendance at the meeting discloses all facts material to the conflict of interest. Such disclosure is reflected in the minutes of the meeting. A member who has a conflict of interest does not participate in or is permitted to hear the board's discussion of the matter except to disclose material facts and to respond to questions. A member who has a conflict of interest with respect to a contract or transaction that will be voted on at a meeting is not counted in determining the presence of a quorum for purposes of the vote. The person having a conflict of interest may not vote on the contract or transaction and shall not be present in the meeting room when the vote is taken, unless the vote is by secret ballot.”
