“Board members annually sign a conflict of interest statement. A conflict of interest, or the perception of a conflict, are disclosed to the board of directors. When any such interest becomes a matter of board action, the director with a conflict does not vote or use personal influence on the matter and is not counted in the quorum for a meeting at which board action is to be taken on the interest. The director may, however, briefly state a position on the matter and answer pertinent questions from the board. The minutes of all actions taken on such matters clearly reflect that these requirements have been met.”
