“Process of monitoring conflicts of interest: 1. Conflicts of interest questionnaire: develop a conflict of interest questionnaire that board members, officers, and employees must complete on an annual basis. This questionnaire will ask individuals to identify any actual or potential conflicts of interest. 2. Transparent reporting: require all board members, officers and key employees to disclose any potential conflicts of interest in writing. Ensure that these disclosures are kept on file and regularly updated. 3. Independent legal counsel: seek advice from independent legal counsel to assess and provide guidance on potential conflicts of interest. 4. Training and education: provide training and education to board members and staf on identifying, managing, and disclosing conflicts of interest. Ensure that everyone understands the organization's policies and procedures. 5. Ongoing monitoring: continuously monitor and assess potential conflicts of interest. Keep the policy and disclosure process on the agenda for board meetings.”
“Copies of governing documents and conflict of interest policy may be requested in writing from the organization at the organization address.”
