All such parties are required to disclose to the board of directors, in writing, any conflict or appearance of conflict that includes (but is not limited to) the following: a. A board member is related to another board member or staff member by blood, marriage, or domestic partnership. B. A staff member in a supervisory capacity is related to a staff member who they supervise. C. A board member or their organization stands to benefit from a nami pbc transaction, or a staff member of such organization receives payment from nami pbc for any subcontract, goods, or services other than as part of their regular job responsibilities or as reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred as provided in the bylaws and board policy.

A volunteer working on behalf of nami pbc who meets any of the situations, or criteria, listed above. Following full disclosure of a possible conflict of interest, including any condition listed above, the board of directors shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists and, if so, the board shall vote to authorize or reject the transaction or take any other action deemed necessary to address the conflict and protect nami pbc's best interests. Both votes shall be by a majority vote without counting the vote of any interested director, even if the disinterested directors are less than a quorum, provided that at least one consenting director is disinterested. A board member, officer, or staff member with a potential conflict of interest shall not participate in any discussion or debate of the board of directors, or of any committee or subcommittee thereof in which the subject of discussion is a contract, transaction, or situation in which there may be a perceived or actual conflict of interest, and must recuse themself from voting. However, they may be present to provide clarifying information in such a discussion or debate, unless objected to by any present board or committee member. Anyone in a position to make decisions about spending nami pbc's resources (i.e. Transactions such as purchases contracts) who also stands to benefit from that decision has a duty to disclose that conflict as soon as it arises (or becomes apparent); they should not participate in any final decisions. A copy of this policy shall be given to all board members, staff members, volunteers, and other key stakeholders upon commencement of such person's relationship with nami pbc, or at the official adoption of stated policy in the event that the existing policy is revised. Each board member, officer, staff member, and volunteer shall sign and date the policy at the beginning of their term of service or employment, and each year thereafter. Failure to sign does not nullify the policy.”
