“A conflict of interest questionnaire is completed by every director, officer, member of any committee and employee. The staff questionnaires are then reviewed by the chief operating officer and chief legal officer. The ethics committee is charged with reviewing the president's, the board of director's, and senior management's conflict of interest questionnaires. Potential conflicts of interest are brought to the attention of the chair of the board, who then directs the matter to the full board of directors. This process is done annually. No director, officer, member of any committee or employee shall participate in negotiation, evaluation or approval by the organization of any contractual arrangement in which there is an actual or potential conflict of interest. Each director, officer, member of any committee or employee upon learning that the organization is proposing to enter into an arrangement in which he or she has a financial interest in such arrangement, promptly notifies the president in writing of the existence of such interest, and the president in turn discloses such interest to the board of directors.”
