“The conflict of interest policy applies to Ecumenical Housing's Board Members. These individuals are required to disclose annually any possible conflicts. A transaction in which an individual of a corporation has a conflict of interest may be approved if the material facts of the transaction and the person's interest were disclosed or known to the Board of Directors and the Board authorized, approved, or ratified the transaction. A conflict of interest transaction is authorized, approved, or ratified if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the members on the Board who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction, but a transaction is not authorized, approved, or ratified under this section by a single member. If a majority of the members on the Board who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction vote to authorize, approve, or ratify the transaction, a quorum is present for the purpose of taking action under this section. The President reviews the conflict of interest policies. Any individual having a conflict of interest on any matter must abstain from voting on the matter and is not counted in determining the quorum for the vote on the matter. The minutes of the meeting reflect the disclosure, the abstention from voting, and the quorum situation.”
