Board Members with such relationships will not be eligible to vote on matters directly pertaining to the business to be transacted with the identified person or organization or on issues that may result in any benefit inuring to the benefit of the identified person or organization. Minutes of appropriate meetings are to reflect that such disclosure was made, that such board member abstained from voting, and that such board member was not counted for the purpose of determining a quorum.

Board members maintaining no such relationships will attest to that fact in writing and agree to notify the board should their status change. This is a condensed version of the full policy which was adopted from the model policy as set forth in IRS Form 1023.
