AT THE EARLIEST PRACTICABLE TIME AFTER BECOMING AWARE OF AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST ON HIS OR HER OWN PART OR ON THE PART OF A FAMILY MEMBER, EVERY MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EACH KEY EMPLOYEE MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE INTEREST THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR A COMMITTEE HAS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT A COVERED PERSON HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IT MUST INFORM THAT PERSON OF THE BASIS FOR SUCH BELIEF AND AFFORD THAT PERSON AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE. IF, AFTER HEARING THE PERSON'S RESPONSE AND AFTER MAKING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES THE MEMBER HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IT MUST TAKE APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION.

BEGINNING IN FISCAL 2010, EVERY MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE EDITOR IN CHIEF IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A YEARLY QUESTIONNAIRE DOCUMENTING ORGANIZATIONS IN WHICH HE OR SHE HAS A MATERIAL INTEREST, A CONTROLLING POSITION, OR OF WHICH HE OR SHE IS A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER, AND DISCLOSING WHETHER HE OR SHE HAS ANY MATERIAL INTEREST, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, IN ANY TRANSACTION TO WHICH THE ORGANIZATION WAS OR WILL BE A PARTY.
