These parties are surveyed annually to identify potential conflicts and ensure compliance with the organization's policy. Responses are reviewed by our Treasurer to determine whether a conflict may exist; if so, the following is evaluated: a) whether the conflict influenced any transaction or decisions, b) if so, whether any present measure can cure or mitigate that conflict, and c) what can be done in the future to prevent such conflicts. If an actual past conflict is discovered it will be brought to the attention of the board and the conflicted person(s) may be subject to discipline if the conflict was not reported, and also for participating in a decision or transaction that posed a conflict of interest.
