“Annually, board members and key employees are asked to fill out a conflict of interest disclosure form. All forms are reviewed and kept on file. The ceo is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the employee policy is enforced. Employees are required to inform their supervisor in writing of any potential conflict of interest. If the supervisor feels there is a reasonable possibility of a conflict, the appropriate divisional manager is informed. The divisional manager will investigate and then inform those involved of the findings. Failure to follow the policy may lead to disciplinary action. The ceo & board of directors are responsible for ensuring that the officer/board policy is followed. When a conflict arises, the officer or board member shall refrain from discussing or voting on the issue. The person involved would give notice to the board of any conflict or potential conflict.”
