Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Board members and key staff complete a written conflict of interest statement annually and are responsible for disclosing potential conflicts when they arise due to new transactions. This statement is retained in the organization's administrative offices. Disclosure should be made to the board chair who shall then bring the matter to the board or appropriate committee. The board or committee will then determine whether the conflict exists and in the case of the existing conflict, whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable to tree trust. Any person with perceived or actual conflict of interest is excluded from the discussion and approval of such transaction to which the conflict relates. The policy expands to cover all tree trust staff. Any potential conflicts at the staff level are reported to the executive director. The potential conflicts are then presented to the board by the executive director.
