The executive director and executive committee are responsible for monitoring the potential conflicts of interest. If an action arises during a board or committee meeting and such action may result in a conflict of interest, the conflicted individual must disclose all material facts concerning the relationship. The conflicted individual may not be present for discussions of the topic, except to answer questions. The conflicted individual may not be present for any vote on the action, unless the vote is by secret ballot. If an officer or key employee has a real or potential conflict of interest, they must disclose the relevant facts to the board chair or the chair's designee and they must refrain from any action that may affect vail place's participation in the contract or transaction. If it is not entirely clear whether a conflict exists, the board chair or the chair's designee makes the determination.
