“Ecumen - sbc, inc. Utilizes its parent company, ecumen's, conflict of interest policy, as it does not have a conflict of interest policy of its own. Ecumen's conflict of interest policy applies to all trustees, officers, managers and employees who can influence the actions of ecumen, including those who make purchasing decisions or who have proprietary information concerning ecumen. The conflict of interest policy is distributed to applicable parties annually and a signed conflict of interest disclosure statement is obtained. The policy states that it is the responsibility of the applicable party to disclose a potentially conflicting transaction before it is consummated and to continue to scrutinize their transactions and disclose potential conflicts immediately. The signed conflict of interest disclosure statements are monitored by an h.r. Generalist in the home office and by the vice president of human resources. The vice president of human resources notifies the ceo for disclosures involving employees, unless the employee is the ceo in which case the board chair is notified. The board chair notifies the board or the applicable committee of the board. Disclosures involving trustees are made to the board chair, unless the board chair has a conflict in which case the vice-chair is notified. The controls are specific to the potential area of conflict. For instance, if an employee provides daily work direction to a family member, all salary-related decisions for that family member would be assigned to another (non-related) person. During board discussions, the person with the conflict of interest is excluded from the discussion and approval for the conflicting transaction. Other specific restrictions may be imposed, depending on the conflict. A competitive bid or comparable valuation must exist. The board, or duly constituted committee, has determined that the transaction is in the best interest of the organization.”

“All compensation is determined by ecumen, the sole member.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, financial statements, and ecumen's conflict of interest policy available to the public upon request.”
