“The organization's conflict of interest policy applies to all employees, officers, and directors of the organization. Prior to election to the board, and thereafter on an annual basis, all directors shall disclose in writing, to the best of their knowledge, any interest such director may have in any corporation, organization, partnership, other entity or individually which provides professional or other goods or services to the corporation for a fee or other compensation, and any position or other material relationship such director may have with any other not-for-profit corporation with which the corporation has any business relationship. If at any time during his or her term of service, a director acquires any interest or otherwise a circumstance arises which may pose a conflict of interest, that interest or other conflict shall be promptly disclosed to the chairman of the board. When any matter for decision or approval comes before the board, or any committee of the board, in which a director has an interest or other conflict, that interest or other conflict shall be immediately disclosed to the board or relevant committee by that director. Unless another standing committee should have a charge authorizing it to address the topics discussed herein, an ad hoc conflicts review committee of the board of directors, comprised entirely of directors without an interest in a given transaction, shall be duly appointed and convened by the board to review any transaction or agreement that is proposed for approval by the board, which might be considered to constitute a conflict of interest (an "interested party transaction") for a particular director. If no formal conflicts review committee is convened, the board (not including the director having an interest in the applicable transaction) may act in its stead. No director shall vote on any matter in which he or she has a conflict of interest. Any director who has a conflict of interest in a matter shall leave the room in which discussion regarding that matter is carried on, if so requested by the board or the relevant committee, provided that the interested director may participate in any discussion regarding his or her absence.”
