Covered persons include any current and former officer, director, member of a committee with board delegated powers, highest compensated employees, or key employee, any of whom held the named position within five years from the date the position terminated. Each respondent is asked to sign a disclosure statement which affirms that they have received a copy of the policy, have read and understand the policy, have agreed to comply with the policy, and have responded to the questionnaire to the best of their ability. The completed questionnaire will be provided to the executive committee prior to june 30 of each year. After reviewing the disclosure statements as well as any other potential or real conflicts of interest that are identified, the executive committee shall notify the ohsu foundation vice-president - chief financial officer of any positive responses to any questions on the disclosure statement; and will follow up with respect to any other disclosures that indicate an actual or potential conflict of interest. This may include, but is not limited to, asking the person not to participate in related decisions or recommending appropriate disciplinary and corrective action to the foundation executive director and/or the president of the board of trustees for the doernbecher foundation. As potential conflicts of interest are identified throughout the course of a year, each respondent has an obligation to advise the executive committee in writing of the existence of any such real or potential conflict of interest. A respondent may make a presentation at the executive committee meeting, but after such presentation, he or she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement that creates the actual or potential conflict of interest. The executive committee shall determine to its satisfaction whether the foundation can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to an actual or potential conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to an actual or potential conflict of interest, the executive committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested committee members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the foundation's best interest and whether the transaction is fair to the foundation, and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. The executive committee will inform the respondent, in writing, of its decision. If the executive committee has reasonable cause to believe that a respondent has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall inform the respondent of the basis for such belief and afford the respondent an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the respondent and making further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the executive committee determines that the respondent has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall recommend appropriate disciplinary and corrective action to the foundation executive director and/or the president of the board of trustees for the doernbecher foundation.”
