“Duty to dislcose: in connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she leaves the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members decide if a conflict of interest exists. Procedures for addressing the conflict of interest: an interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she leaves the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement with the possible conflict of interest. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee determines whether the pcpcf can obtain, with reasonable efforts, a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing body or committee determines by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the pcpcf's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request. Some of the documents are also available on the organization's website.”
