“Each director and officer annually receives a conflict of interest questionnaire through which they are asked to confirm or report the following: (i) that he or she has read and understands ocf's conflict of interest policy (which imposes upon each director and officer a continuing, affirmative duty to report any personal ownership, interest, or relationship that might affect his or her ability to exercise impartial, ethical, and business-based judgements in fulfilling responsibilities to ocf); (ii) that he or she is in compliance with the policy; (iii) that he or she is reporting (with his or her completed questionnaire) all actual or potential conflicts of interest that arise as a result of his or her role with ocf, and each position that he or she holds as a director, trustee, officer, or employee of any other nonprofit organization; and (iv) that he or she will report promptly any changes in information reported in his or her questionnaire or in any other matters that might affect compliance with the policy. The board chair collects and reviews the questionnaires as they are returned and makes sure that all who are required to complete a conflict questionnaire have done so. When an individual reports an actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest, ocf follows the procedures outlined in its policy for disclosure of conflicts to the applicable body of decision-makers and recusal of individual(s) with conflicts from the decision-making process. Pursuant to the policy, ocf's board of directors is responsible for the oversight of, and action regarding, all disclosures and/or failures to disclose.”
