Interested directors do not participate in discussion and voting on the matter involving the actual or potential conflict of interest. Directors who do not have any actual or potential interest in the matter determine whether a conflict exists and appropriate actions. All conflict of interest disclosures, discussions and decisions are recorded in the meeting minutes. Upon potential engagement of a new vendor, the board or committee chair asks if any director, officer, committee member or employee has an interest in the entity in question, and the board or committee addresses the situation in the meeting pursuant to the policy. On an annual basis, the organization updates the annual statement to reflect all vendors. The updated annual statement is reviewed and signed by the directors, officers, committee members and employees.”
