“Every trustee, officer, board member, committee member and employee in a position to influence, provide non-public information or vote on foundation policies or expenditures, (a "key individual") is required to sign a statement acknowledging and agreeing to the terms of the conflict of interest policy prior to employment or serving on the foundation board or key committee. The conflict of interest policy is reviewed with trustees annually at a foundation board meeting. In addition, any new key individual is provided a copy of the policy upon commencement of his or her position as a key individual and is required to sign and deliver to the foundation a statement acknowledging and agreeing to the terms of the policy. A copy of the policy is sent annually to all key individuals. The federation (supported organization) endowment department personnel are responsible for maintaining copies of signed statements and following up to ensure that a statement is obtained from each key individual. The secretary and/or treasurer of the foundation (who also is cfo and assistant treasurer of one of the supported organizations) are responsible for monitoring conflict situations, if any. If a board member has an interest in a transaction, he or she is required to disclose and not vote.”
