“Thrive dc requires the responsible person having a conflict to present the conflict to the board of directors. The person is not allowed to participate in the board discussion in relation to the matter. The board examines whether the conflict actually exists and determines whether another arrangement would be more advantageous to the organization. If a more advantageous arrangement or arrangement that does not give rise to a conflict cannot be identified, then the disinterested members of the board will vote whether the transaction is in the organizations best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. Annual disclosures of any potential conflicts are submitted to the board chair and executive director and are reviewed by the same. Regularly monitors and enforces compliance with the policy such as having discussions about potential new contracts or services that may present a conflict at each board meeting”
