“The written conflict of interest policy covers the board of directors, members, board committee members and key employees. Determination of whether a conflict may exist is made by the board president and the executive director. The possible conflict is reviewed for disposition by the executive committee of the board of directors. Board members, committee members and key employees are required to annually to complete the organization's conflict of interest disclosure statement and disclose all potential conflicts to the executive director or board president. Actual or apparent conflicts of interest that may arise during the year are to be immediately reported to the executive director or board president. Should a perceived conflict of interest present itself, the executive committee will review the potential conflict and determine if further action or restriction is required in order to ensure the conflict does not interfere with the performance of the member's or key employee's duties to the organization, or result in personal financial, professional, or political gain on the part of such persons at the expense of the organization, its supporters or stakeholders.”

“The executive director meets with the board president annually to review prior year performance and establish future goals.

Officers and directors are not compensated.”
