“The policy applies to any director or officer of the organization or member of any committee of the organization's board of directors that has authority to act on behalf of the board of directors, and those employees of the organization, if any, who may be designated by the president of the organization. Each person covered by the policy completes an annual conflict of interest questionnaire. They must also disclose all actual and potential conflicts both in the annual questionnaire and as they arise during the time he or she is covered by the policy. If there is a conflict of interest the interested person must recuse himself/herself from voting on any transaction or arrangement in which he/she has a potential or actual conflict of interrest, and will not be present when any such vote is taken. The president discloses to the board of directors all conflicts of interest reported to him or her. The board of directors evaluate the disclosures to determine whether they involve actual conflicts of interest and may attempt to develop alternatives to remove the conflict from the situation.”

“The organization makes its governing documents available on its website. The conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available to public upon request.”
