EACH FALL-WINTER THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS DISTRIBUTED TO BOARD AND STAFF, AND ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ARE REPORTED. FOLLOWING FULL DISCLOSURE OF A POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS AND IF SO, THE BOARD SHALL VOTE TO AUTHORIZE OR REJECT THE TRANSACTION OR TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION DEEMED NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE CONFLICT AND PROTECT ISLAND CONSERVATION'S BEST INTERESTS. BOTH VOTES SHALL BE BY A MAJORITY VOTE WITHOUT COUNTING THE VOTE OF ANY INTERESTED DIRECTOR, EVEN IF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS ARE LESS THAN A QUORUM PROVIDED THAT AT LEAST ONE CONSENTING DIRECTOR IS DISINTERESTED. ANY ACTION TAKEN SHALL BE REFLECTED IN THE OFFICIAL MINUTES OF ISLAND CONSERVATION. AN INTERESTED BOARD MEMBER, OFFICER, OR STAFF MEMBER SHALL NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OR OF ANY COMMITTEE OR SUBCOMMITTEE THEREOF IN WHICH THE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION IS A CONTRACT, TRANSACTION, OR SITUATION IN WHICH THERE MAY BE A PERCEIVED OR ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
