Upon or before election, hiring, or appointment, all employees, volunteers, and board members are asked to make a full, written disclosure of interests, relationships and holdings that could potentially result in a conflict of interest. This written disclosure will be kept on file and will be updated as appropriate. In the course of meetings or activities, employees, volunteers, and board members are asked to disclose any interests in a transaction or decision where they (including their business or other nonprofit affiliations), their family and/or significant other, employer, or close associates will receive a benefit or gain. Such relationships do not necessarily restrict transactions so long as the relationship is clearly divulged, and non-involved individuals affiliated with bhgh make any necessary decisions. After disclosure, it is understood that individuals with a possible conflict of interest will be asked to exclude themselves from the discussion and will not be permitted to vote or decide on the question. This applies to board members, employees reporting to a supervisor, or a supervisor. The supervisor, executive director or, where applicable, board chair, after receiving information about a possible conflict of interest, shall take such action as is necessary to assure that transactions are completed in the best interest of bhgh without the substantive involvement of the person who has the possible conflict of interest.”
