“Employees and board members have a responsibility to act in the best interest of nwf and are prohibited from using nwf and their position for private profit or benefit, such as a current or potential ownership or investment interest, or compensation arrangement. The private interest may be a direct benefit to the covered person, or an indirect benefit through another party to whom the covered individual has a family, business, or other affiliation. Key employees, such as the executive director, and board members must submit a written disclosure annually. Additionally, when a board member who has a financial or personal interest in any matter coming before the board, they will a) fully disclose the nature of the interest and b) withdraw from discussion, lobbying, and voting on the matter. Any transaction or vote involving a potential conflict of interest may be approved only when a majority of disinterested board members determine that it is in the best interest of the corporation to do so. Records of proceedings: the minutes of meetings at which such votes are taken will record such disclosure, abstention, and rationale for approval. At the start of each board meeting, the chair will ask if any board members have any conflicts of interest to declare. The board will investigate any failures to disclose conflicts of interest and take appropriate disciplinary and corrective actions”
