All designated employees and common directors are required to annually disclose potential conflicts. Monitoring is performed regularly by the officers to identify potential conflicts of interest. The board or designated committee reviews any conflicts presented by interested parties. The chairperson appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate the transaction in question and report findings to the board. Alternatives to the proposed transaction are identified and compared to the proposed transaction. Any questions of a conflict are addressed with the interested person, who is required to disclose the existence of any material financial interest and be afforded the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board. The board votes on the most beneficial option for the organization. If the board has reason to believe an interested person has failed to disclose the potential conflict, the board will investigate further and if necessary, take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. If a conflict of interest is identified, the interested person must refrain from participating in any and all discussions related to that business matter. All deliberation and decisions are recorded in meeting minutes.”
