Members of the Board of Directors and committees are expected to effectively disclose in a timely manner all potential and actual conflicts of interests. Members of the Board of Directors are made aware of the conflict policy at the beginning of each meeting and through the use of an attendance sheet. Members of committees are made aware of the policy by the committee chair at the beginning of each meeting and through the use of an attendance sheet. By signing the attendance sheet, each board or committee member is acknowledging their awareness of the conflict policy. For conference calls, the chair will note that by answering during the roll call, the board or committee member acknowledges their awareness of the conflict policy. If members of the board or committees have a conflict, they agree to withdraw from the discussion before the group and not vote on any action related to which they have a conflict. They are also asked to verbally acknowledge recusal so it can be noted in the meeting minutes. Annually, members of the staff report to the Board of Directors any interest in the pork industry which may appear to be a conflict of interest. |
