Review: the board or committee shall review the relevant information and decide whether the transaction can proceed and under what conditions (if any) despite the existence of a conflict of interest. The board's decision shall be based on consideration of whether the transaction: 1. Is in cc's best interests and for its own benefit; 2. Is fair and reasonable to cc; and 3. Is the most advantageous transaction or arrangement cc can obtain with reasonable efforts under the circumstances. The existence and resolution of the conflict of interest shall be documented in cc's records, including in the minutes of any meeting at which the conflict of interest was discussed and/or voted upon. Annual distribution, acknowledgment, and disclosure: this policy shall be distributed annually to all directors, officers, and key employees, members of committees, and staff.
