“Conflict of interest rules are written in the iwmf staff policy manual as well as in the board of directors handbook. The board requires each board member and senior staff to annually a) be familiar with the terms of the conflict of interest policy; b) to disclose to the board co-chairs any possible personal, familial, or business relationships that reasonably might give rise to a conflict involving the iwmf; and c) to acknowledge by her or his signature on the disclosure form that she or he is in accordance with the letter and spirit of the policy. The board co-chairs are responsible for the application and implementation of the policy as it relates to board members and the executive director. The executive director is responsible for the application of policy as it relates to staff. Individuals are expected to reveal any conflicts and shall refrain from participating in considerations of proposed transactions unless the board requests information or interpretation for special reason. If a conflict of interest was to arise, the party with the conflict would be forced by the board and/or management to recuse themselves from the decision in question, so that the best interests of the iwmf is the driver of the decision.”
