Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Directors and officers must disclose all material facts concerning an actual or potential conflict of interest as soon as it is discovered. Disclosure shall be directed to the board of directors via the chairperson, chief executive officer or the secretary. If it appears that a conflict of interest exists, the board of directors or the chair of the relevant committee thereof shall appoint a non-interest person or a committee of the board of directors to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. If the board of directors has reasonable cause to believe that a director or officer has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall inform such person of basis for such belief and afford such person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If after hearing the response of the director or officer, and making further investigation, the board of directors determines that the director or officer has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate remedial action.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
