“On an annual basis, the board of directors and key staff (management and supervisors) of the organization complete a conflict of interest statement. This information is summarized and reviewed by the board of directors for awareness. The board of directors determines if a potential conflict is an actual conflict. All known conflicts are evaluated again if they relate to a specific transaction that is being considered. If a conflict were to arise, the person who has the conflict would not be involved with the discussions or decision making process. The governance committee of the board of directors receives and reviews a summary of the completed conflict of interest disclosures. At each board meeting the board chair reminds everyone to consider any potential conflicts of interest and abstain from that particular decision making process if a conflict is present.”
