Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12 Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research is subject to the conflict of interest policy of Swedish Health Services. Covered persons are defined as the Executive Director, management and key employees of the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research (MRC). Board members and covered persons are required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire annually and disclose any affiliations, interest or relationships and/or any transactions the individual and/or his or her family members have engaged in that might give rise to an actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest. The policy defines family members and describes what constitutes conflicts of interest. It requires individuals to report any further financial interest, situation, activity, interest or conduct that may develop before completion of the next annual questionnaire. The conflict of interest questionnaire includes an annual statement that board members and covered persons (a) have received a copy of the policy, (b) have read and understood the policy, (c) agree to comply with the policy, (d) understand that the policy applies to committees and subcommittees, (e) understand that MRC is a charitable organization that must engage primarily in exempt activates, (f) agree to report to the appropriate manager or committee chair any change to matters previously disclosed on the conflict of interest questionnaire, (g) state that the information provided in the conflict of interest questionnaire is true and accurate to the best of his or her knowledge and belief and (h) affirm that neither they nor family members have violated the policy. The purpose of the policy is to ensure board members and covered persons are independent and able to perform their duties in an impartial manner, free from any bias created by personal interests, to protect the interests of MRC, to clarify the duties and obligations of the board members and covered persons in the context of a potential conflict (and to provide a method for disclosing and resolving said conflict) and to supplement (not replace) any applicable state laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to charitable, nonprofit corporations. MRC will not engage in any contract, transaction or arrangement involving a potential conflict of interest unless it is determined that appropriate safeguards protect the charitable mission of MRC have been implemented. The board's executive committee, working with the Swedish Health Services compliance officer, will review all conflict of interest questionnaires. The governance committee will make a finding as to whether an actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest exists and will forward that finding, along with recommendations for resolution, to the board for discussion and vote. For covered persons, the organization's conflict of interest committee works with the Swedish Health Services' compliance officer and follows a similar process. It reviews all questionnaires submitted by covered persons and communicates its findings and recommendations to be implemented by the appropriate committees. The minutes of meetings will identify any person attending the meeting who has a conflict of interest with respect to any matter before the board or committee and the action taken to address the conflict.
