“Rgcdc's irs form 990 is reviewed by the board of directors prior to filing.”

“Rgcdc has a formal written conflict of interest policy which requires board members to avoid any conflict of interest with respect to their fiduciary responsibility. The policy states, "there will be no self-dealing or any conduct of private business or personal services between any board member and rgcdc except as procedurally controlled to assure openness, competitive opportunity, and equal access to "inside" information". Board members sign a conflict of interest statement annually, disclosing any conflict or potential conflict as defined by the irs form 990. In any matter before the board or any of its authorized committees, having declared a conflict or potential conflict, the board member may participate in the discussion of the matter, but when the vote is called, the member will leave the room and not cast a vote. The minutes of the board meeting or committee meeting will reflect when the member left and returned.”
