National Jewish Health requires all employees and board members to complete a conflict of interest (COI) declaration statement annually. Each individual's COI statement is reviewed by their Director or Senior Manager. All statements with COIs are reviewed by the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). The EVP and Chief Operating Officer is the CCO. When conflicts are present, the CCO develops a plan to either eliminate the conflict or develops a plan to manage the conflict. Conflicts involving the CEO would be taken to the Chairman of the Board for resolution. If the EVP/COO had a conflict, it would be resolved by the CEO. Board member conflicts are reviewed by the Audit Committee. Board members with conflicts are asked to recuse themselves from any Board deliberations, decisions, or negotiations related to their conflict. The National Jewish conflict of interest policy is available on the National Jewish website. |
