“Board members and staff are required to annually disclose and sign a conflict of interest policy agreements. The conflict of interest policy is discussed during the first meeting of the fiscal year at which time board members and staff sign conflict of interest forms. All forms are reviewed and signed by a program director and the executive director. All related conflict of interest issues go through a three person review where questions regarding a possible break of policy are brought to the executive director. All directors who have control over a department budget and members of the board of directors are reminded throughout the year that they must be diligent in the application of the conflict of interest policy and recuse themselves when appropriate. The application of the conflict of interest policy is evidenced by those occasional times when voting members of the internal operations committee or the board of directors recuse themselves on issues in which they may be personally involved.”
