A conflict of interest exists if circumstances would lead a reasonable person to question whether motivations are aligned with foothill unity center's best interests. Should any question arise regarding a conflict of interest, the facts of the situation should be presented to the board of directors immediately for a determination. Board members with the conflict of interest are not allowed to vote on the matter. Board members sign conflict of interest form annually.”
