The President reviews employees' responsibilities as they may
relate to a potential conflict with employees on an
annual basis and in the context of any specific assignments.
In addition, there is an annual staff meeting during which
the "Conflict of Interest" policy is reviewed and discussed.
All staff members sign a certification that they have been
provided and have read the policy, and stating whether there
is any conflict or potential conflict of interest situation
of which they are aware, and if so, the situation is stated.
Staff members also certify if there is no conflict. Due to
the small size of the staff and the day to day working
relationship between staff and management, potential or
actual conflicts are identified as work assignments are
undertaken, and otherwise reviewed by management
throughout the year.
