“In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and all material facts to the directors and members of committees with 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 or she leaves the 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. An interested person may make a presentation at the board or committee meeting, but after such presentation, he/she leaves the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement that results in the conflict of interest. After exercising due diligence, the board or committee determine whether the foundation can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest.”
