In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, a covered person must immediately disclose to the board, committee or board designee the existence and nature of his or her financial interest or any disclosable relationships.

After a potential conflict has been disclosed, the board or committee shall determine if a conflict of interest exists. If the board or committee determines that a covered person has a financial interest, then it will be investigated and determined by a majority vote of the disinterested board members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interests.”
