Specific procedures for resolution, outlined in the Board Policy Manual, include the option to ask Board members to recuse themselves from relevant votes and/or leave the room during relevant discussions and votes. When the conflict of interest is real, the Board member may be asked to remedy or withdraw from the situation or to resign from the board. Each staff member completes a Conflict of Interest Statement of Disclosure annually, which is reviewed by the Executive Director and the Director of Financial Services. Any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest are discussed with the staff member. If the conflict of interest is real, the staff member is asked to remedy or withdraw from the situation or resign. |

The full board reviews and approves the Executive Director's compensation. Documentation of deliberations and decisions is maintained. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in IRC Section 6104(d). |
