“In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an officer, director, or employee must disclose the existence of his or her financial interests in the organization, including business and family relationships in the organization. Each officer, director, and key employee is required to complete a conflict-of-interest disclosure questionnaire on an annual basis. Any possible disclosed financial interest, or business and family relationship, is reviewed by the director of legal compliance to determine if a conflict of interest exists. (note that a financial interest or business and family relationship does not necessarily constitute a conflict of interest.) if such a conflict is found to exist, a meeting of the independent directors is held, and a decision is made as to how to avoid the relevant conflict. In most cases, this involves requiring the conflicted director not to participate in discussion or decision making where the conflict may arise. If the person disclosing the financial interest or existing business and family relationship is a current member of the executive committee, said member shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, whether a conflict of interest exists. If the executive committee determines a conflict of interest exists, the executive committee shall take appropriate corrective or disciplinary actions.”
