“Reading to Kids annually requires its officers, board members, and employees to sign a conflict of interest disclosure form. If a conflict is identified, the person with the conflict (i) must fully disclose the conflict to all other decision-makers; and (ii) may not be involved in the decision of what action to take (e.g., may not participate in a vote) but may serve as a resource to provide other decisionmakers with needed information. In some cases the person with the conflict may be asked to recuse him/herself from sensitive discussions so as not to unduly influence the discussion of the conflict. In all cases, decisions involving a conflict will be made only by disinterested persons.”
