“Yes, the organization has a written conflict of interest policy. All officers, and directors are required to disclose annually interests that could give rise to conflicts. This is minuted in the AGM, as well as other meetings of the Board. The organization does regularly and consistently monitor and enforce compliance with the policy, through requiring disclosure from all key representatives of any possible areas of conflict of interest. Where an individual might have a potential conflict, that individual is recused from the Board, so that the remainder of the Board members can discuss if they do in fact see an actual conflict, and if so, how to address the situation. In most cases, a perceived conflict on further discussion might amount to a zero risk situation, and then the matter is resolved.”
