| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR STAFF COMPLETE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT PRIOR TO THEIR APPOINTMENT AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER. THE STATEMENT IDENTIFIES ANY RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION, WHICH IS DEFINED TO BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST UNDER THE LAW. THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSIDER THESE STATEMENTS BEFORE VOTING ON MEMBERSHIP (PRESIDENT CONSIDERS FOR SENIOR STAFF), TO DETERMINE IF CANDIDATES CAN BE EXPECTED TO HAVE FREQUENT RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE ANNUAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS ANY CONCERNS TO THE FULL BOARD. BOARD MEMBERS AND SENIOR STAFF MUST PROMPTLY DISCLOSE ANY RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION TO THE PRESIDENT (OR THE BOARD CHAIR IF THE TRANSACTION INVOLVES THE PRESIDENT). THE MATTER IS REFERRED TO AN ASSIGNED COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD COMPOSED OF INDEPENDENT MEMBERS (IF THE MATTER INVOLVES THE CHAIR, THE ASSIGNED COMMITTEE IS THE AUDIT COMMITTEE WITHOUT PARTICIPATION BY THE CHAIR). THE DIRECTOR OR SENIOR STAFF MEMBER INVOLVED IN THE TRANSACTION MAY PROVIDE INFORMATION PRIOR TO DELIBERATION, BUT MAY NOT BE PRESENT DURING DELIBERATION BY THE ASSIGNED COMMITTEE OR THE BOARD. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS ARE NOT NECESSARILY PROHIBITED. THE ASSIGNED COMMITTEE MUST DETERMINE IF THE TRANSACTION IS FAIR, REASONABLE AND IN THE BEST INTEREST OF BRIC, AND MUST CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTIONS IF THE RELATED PARTY HAS A SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST. THE ASSIGNED COMMITTEE MAKES A DECISION BY MAJORITY VOTE. THE BOARD MAY CHOOSE TO REVIEW THE DECISION, AND IF SO, MAKES A FINAL DETERMINATION BY MAJORITY VOTE OF INDEPENDENT MEMBERS. ALL ACTIONS REGARDING RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS ARE RECORDED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY IN MINUTES OF THE ASSIGNED COMMITTEE OR BOARD. |
