“Board members and key employees annually complete a survey related to business relationships and family members that could, or do, create a conflict of interest. These are summarized and filed along with board meeting minutes. Conflicts of interest are determined by a review of the potential conflicts by the administrator and the board of directors. If a conflict exists, then the conflicted board member or key employee is excluded from discussions and votes related to any potential or existing relationships involving the conflict of interest. If it is determined that a conflict of interest was intentionally hidden by a board member, then the situation would be investigated and the board member could be suspended and subject to dismissal. Additionally, the remaining board members and key employees will review, for fairness, all past transactions involving the conflict of interests. If a transaction appears to lack arms-length, either to the detriment of the organization, or to the unfair advantage of the board member, then all legal remedies will be considered.”

This process is performed by the board.”
