“Directors are asked upon taking office to disclose their interests that could give rise to conflicts. Directors will annually sign a statement agreeing to comply with the conflicts of interest policy, and that the organization must engage primarily in the activities which accomplish one or more of its tax exempt purposes. Additionally, directors, officers or committee members are asked to reassess and disclose as appropriate, an existing conflict of interest when new relationships are formed. After disclosure and discussion with the interested person, the board will discuss and vote, in the absence of the interested person, on their determination of a conflict of interest. After considering alternatives, and if none can be found by the board (disinterested members only) will vote on whether the transaction of arrangement is in the organization's best interest, and whether it is fair and reasonable. Relying on that vote, the board will make its decision concerning the transaction or arrangement. If any director believes that a member has failed to disclose a real or possible conflict of interest, the member will be informed and have an opportunity to explain. After investigation, of the executive committee determines that there has been a failure to disclose any possible conflict of interest, appropriate disciplinary and corrective action will be taken.”
