An acknowledgement that each employee has received, read, and understands the personnel policy manual is maintained in each employee's personnel file. The board of directors adopted guidelines for membership/member conduct which required that each board member observe and meet in full certain chapters in the personnel manual, including those containing policies on conflicts of interest. Board members affirm annually that they commit to follow board membership guidelines. The president/ceo is responsible for assuring that written affirmations are received from relevant persons annually, that possible conflicts of interest are reviewed and, if possible, resolved and that appropriate sanctions are imposed.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policies, and financial statements are available to the public upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).”
