“Principles for dealing with conflict of interest: a) the board member must openly disclose a potential, real or perceived conflict of interest as soon as the issue arises and before the board or its committees deal with the matter at issue. B) if the board member is not certain he/she is in a conflict of interest position, the matter may be brought before the chair, executive committee or board for advice and guidance. C) if there is any question or doubt about the existence of a real or perceived conflict, the board will determine by vote if a conflict exists. The person potentially in conflict shall be absent from the discussion and vote. D) it is the responsibility of other board members who are aware of a real, potential or perceived conflict of interest on the part of a fellow board member to raise the issue for clarification, first with the board member and, if still unresolved, with the board chair. E) the board member must abstain from participation in any discussion on the matter, shall not attempt to personally influence the outcome, shall refrain from voting on the matter and unless otherwise decided by the board, must leave the meeting room for the duration of any such discussion or vote. F) the disclosure and decision as to whether a conflict exists shall be duly recorded in the minutes of the meeting. The time the person left and returned to the meeting shall also be recorded”
