“The conflict of interest policy covers all directors, principal officers, and members of committees with board-deledgated powers. The board co-chairs monitor activities to ensure compliance with the policy. Should a potential conflict arise, the board or committee members will discuss and vote to decide whether or not a conflict of interest exists. The interested person may not be involved in this discussion or vote. Any conflict of interest proceedings are recorded in the board minutes and include the name of the interested person, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the board or committee's decision.”

“The organization makes its financial statements, governing documents, and conflict of interest policy available to the public upon request.”
