“Dr. Betty j. Turock and dr. David l. Turock, both trustees, are related to each other as mother and son. In order to determine whether or not there are any business or family relationships between officers, directors, trustees or key employees, interviews are performed by human resources, followed by the responsible managers, vice president, and possibly the president and/or a search committee comprised of several employees and board members. The director of human resources conducts the conflict of interest question and business and family relationship questions, and prepares a log of the responses. This information is forwarded to the president.”
