In all related matters, the persons having a conflict of interest shall not participate or attend, vote on, or use his or her personal influence on an action defined as a possible conflict. Any director, officer, or key employee having an interest shall make a prompt, full, and frank disclosure of his or her interest to the board of directors at the first meeting of the board after becoming aware of the conflict or potential conflict; all individuals are required to disclose a possible conflict before the board takes related action. The conflict of interest policy is distributed to each director, officer, and key employee annually. Each must attest to their understanding and agree to be governed by and to abide by all of the principles and polices set forth therein. Directors and officers are specifically asked to provide a list of potential businesses or organizations with which they or a family member are an officer, director, trustee, member, owner, shareholder (with a 5% or greater interest), or employee as it relates to a relationship, transaction, contract, or other arrangement with the corporation.”
