“General counsel of ppgp ensures that conflict of interest forms are completed annually by each board member and that a conflict of interest form is completed by any potential new board member. These forms are reviewed by the board chair and chief executive officer and, as necessary, potential issues are discussed by the executive committee. Depending on the nature of a conflict, the organization may decline to offer board membership to an individual or a board member may be asked to resign. If a conflict arises during the course of a year, the same review process is followed. If a conflict of interest does not prevent a member from serving on the board, strict procedures are followed related to matters being discussed or voted on that relate to a disclosed conflict.”
