Officers and members must annually sign the CAP Conflict of Interest and Annual Commitment Pledge agreement. As such, when an actual or potential conflict of interest is relevant to a matter requiring action by the Board, the interested person(s) shall call it to the attention of the Board and shall not vote on the matter. Where there is doubt as to whether a conflict exists, the interested persons will be allowed to disclose all material facts to the Board, and the matter shall be resolved by a vote of the Board's members, excluding any interested person(s). The Board's official minutes shall reflect that the conflict of interest was disclosed, and the interested person(s) did not participate in the final discussion or vote and did not vote in the matter.</ExplanationTxt>
