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.
