“Annually, the corporate secretary distributes a conflict of interest form to each member of the board of directors and various committee members not on the board that requires each to identify potential conflicts or other related party interests. The reports are reviewed by the secretary and ceo and any conflicts are brought to the board's attention. A member of the board who has a conflict of interest may not vote on any such issue before the board. Any question of whether there is a conflict is resolved by the board of directors. If the board of directors determines that a director has committed a substantial violation of the conflict of interest policy, the individual is removed from the office of director. In addition, all management and supervisory employees are informed of the organization's policy regarding related party transactions and conflicts of interest.”
