Under such policies, the evp/general counsel is responsible for collecting, reviewing and validating annual disclosures of all covered persons (i.e., board and board committee members, officers and executive leadership, key employees, management personnel at the vice president level and above, and any other personnel at his or her discretion). All covered persons are required to disclose actual or potential conflicts arising from the business, financial and personal interests held by such covered persons or their family members. Covered persons are required to disclose to their superiors and to relevant decision makers any interest that may present a conflict, or the appearance of a conflict of interest. Such disclosure is required on a transactional basis at the time such conflicts arise, when an individual becomes a covered person, and annually thereafter. Each covered person is required to certify at least annually that he/she: (1) has received a copy of the policy applicable to his/her position; (2) has read the policy and understands said policy; and (3) agrees to comply with all requirements of the policy, including completing the conflicts of interest disclosure statement as required by the policy. The president/ceo and evp/general counsel prepare annual reports of reported conflicts of interest, which are provided to the board of directors, committee chairs, and key leaders of the organization to enable responsible individuals to monitor and manage disclosed conflicts of interest and assure decisions are made in the organization's best interests. The procedures for addressing a conflict of interest related to a proposed transaction include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) the conflicting interest is fully disclosed to the board of directors, members of board committees with subject matter jurisdiction and any other relevant decision-makers; (2) the interested person responds to factual questions related to the substance of the transaction or arrangement being considered, after which he/she shall leave the meeting; (3) the interested person is excluded from the discussion and approval of such transaction; (4) if warranted, alternatives to the proposed transaction are investigated, and competitive bids or comparable valuations are obtained; (5) the transaction or action is approved by a majority of disinterested persons, consistent with any requirements of bylaws or policies; and (6) any conflicting issues arising during the course of a board meeting which cannot be resolved may be referred to an independent committee”
