Those in that policy are required to file an annual disclosure form and are required to inform the board when a potential conflict of interest arises. 3.

The person should not participate or be present at any meeting during which the discussion of the possible conflict of interest takes place. 6. The chair of the board should, if appropriate, appoint a committee of the board made up of disinterested directors to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction. 6. If a more advantageous transaction is not reasonably available, the governing board or committee should determine, by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, whether the transaction is in the organization's best interest and is fair and reasonable. 7. Our secretary maintains the list of potential conflicts and informs our CEO, who brings it to the attention of the board of directors during an officer meeting. 8. When doing business with a new vendor/service provider we request a disclosure of potential conflicts. 9. We undertake a periodic review of our transactions involving any major expenditures. 10. If a conflict of interest is discovered that was not previously disclosed, the chair of the board will form a committee of non-interested officers and directors to determine how the conflict arised, whether it was intentional, and determine appropriate course of action to rectify the situation including but not limited to release from the position and legal actions.”

“Our program addition is our project, Art Bike Relief. We were invited by the non-profit organizers of the event to collect and deal with over 1000 littered bicycles. After collecting the bikes. This bikes were then distributed free to our camp members and the added benefit of our bikes increased our camp memberships to over 700 people from our previous camp of 12. Art Bike Relief is a collaborative project established to assist a local non-profit deal with thousands of littered bikes after an art event. The project is an example of circular and collaborative economics and is intended to turn damaged and orphaned bikes into social impact around the world. In total we have collected over 1200 bicycles and over 700 members have become members of our camp.”
