The procedures include the disclosure of all conflicts and potential conflicts by all incumbent and incoming directors and officers. Policies and forms are distributed annually and each director and officer must sign and affirm that they have read, understood, and are complying with the policy. The form must list any outside employment or consulting work that could constitute a conflict, and any board membership or affiliation with other organizations that could constitute a conflict. Each director or officer must also list his or her investments in any corporation, partnership, trust, or fund in which he or she, together with members of his or her family, has directly or indirectly a greater than 35% ownership interest, regardless of whether such investments could constitute a conflict. No director or officer may be present for a vote by the board of directors on any decision or action by namati which would directly or indirectly benefit such director or officer.”

For the director-level positions, this information is submitted to namati's president & ceo who reviews the information and determines the appropriate salary. This is then extended as a salary offer to the candidate. Namati's president & ceo received a cost of living increase in 2015, which was also provided to all staff.”
