“Section 2. Conflict of interest. (a) a conflict of interest does exist when a matter to be acted upon by the board of directors confers a direct, substantial benefit to any director of the board, or business or agency from which such a director derives an income or had authority in governance; (b) a member of the board of directors shall abstain from voting or attempting to influence the vote on any matter before the board that places him/her in a conflict of interest. Said board member shall disclose the conflict or potential conflict as soon as he/she recognizes the conflict. If self-disclosure is not revealed, the board president or any member of the board of directors can-prior to voting on a specific matter in which a potential conflict of interest exists-inquire whether any member of the board desires to abstain from voting because of a conflict of interest. If no conflict of interest is disclosed but the president or any other member of the board states the opinion that such a conflict exists and the challenged board member refuses to abstain from the deliberations or voting as requested, the president shall immediately call for a vote of the directors to determine whether the challenged director is in a conflict of interest. If a majority of the directors present vote to require the abstention of the challenged director, that director shall not be permitted to vote; (c) each member of the board of directors shall annually sign the code of ethics as developed by the board, which shall further explain the expected duties of all board members and the methods to exercise their obligations under these bylaws.”
