“Upon acceptance as a member of the board of directors, all new members attend new board member orientation, and must review the conflict of interest policy and complete a conflict of interest disclosure form. Annually, at its fourth quarter meeting all board members are asked to update their forms. Further, at every meeting of the full board or its committees the board chair will ask all present whether they have a conflict with respect to items on the agenda and remind board members of their continued obligation to disclose any potential conflict. Any such conflict is noted in the minutes and the member is recused from the room when that particular agenda topic is discussed, or a motion or vote is made on that topic.”
