“Directors, including officers, are required to review, complete, and sign a conflict of interest disclosure. If a conflict of interest is disclosed, the Board will review, and the member with the conflict will abstain from the matter. Employees are subject to the Washington State University (WSU) conflict of interest training and disclosures. The by-laws require other volunteers to avoid conflicts of interest in their actions for and with the WSU Alumni Association and disclose with the Executive Director of the WSU Alumni Association and excuse themselves from any situation in which a conflict of interest exists. If a conflict of interest is not voluntarily disclosed by an individual and is later discovered, the Executive Committee has the authority to investigate the matter on behalf of the Board and, if necessary, to initiate action which may include, but is not limited to, recommending that the Board remove the individual(s) involved from office, and recommending to the Executive Director cancellation of the award, honor, scholarship or transaction where the conflict of interest existed.”
