Each fills out a form acknowledging review of the policy and disclosing any conflicts per the policy annually. In addition, conflicts are disclosed as they arise throughout the course of the year, and disclosures are recorded in writing and kept in the nhccfs files. The nhccf conflict of interest policy applies to members of the board of trustees and its staff. The nhccf director makes determinations of conflicts of interest related to staff, and the board of trustees makes determinations of conflicts of interest related to the director and fellow board members. All conflicts of interest are governed by this policy, i.e. There is no minimum threshold for a conflict to trigger the policy. When a conflict exists, it must be disclosed, the interested person is excused from any decision making related to the matter in conflict, and any duties normally held by the conflicted person are assigned to a disinterested person.”
