A conflict arises when an individual has a material personal interest, such as financial or ownership stakes, in a transaction involving the organization. Monitoring and Disclosure: Board members must disclose conflicts of interest in writing before related discussions or decisions take place. They must abstain from voting, exerting personal influence, or being present during deliberations regarding the matter. All disclosures, abstentions, and decisions are documented in meeting minutes. Procedures: A disinterested board member or knowledgeable party presents evidence supporting the transaction's fairness, such as competitive bids. Approval requires a majority vote of disinterested board members, constituting a quorum. Annual Disclosures and Reports: Board members must complete an annual potential conflict report and affirm their understanding of the policy. The executive director oversees this process and ensures compliance. This policy ensures C2C operates transparently and in the best interest of the organization, avoiding potential conflicts before and after transactions occur.
