BOARD MEMBER CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND DISCLOSURE

The purpose of this policy is to help inform the Board about what constitutes a conflict of interest, assist the Board in identifying and disclosing actual and potential conflicts, and help ensure the avoidance of conflicts of interest where necessary. This policy will be enforced against individual Board members as described below.

1. Board members have a fiduciary duty to conduct themselves without conflict to the interests of SCFSC. In their capacity as Board members, they must subordinate personal, individual business, third-party, and other interests to the welfare and best interests of SCFSC. 

2. A conflict of interest is a transaction or relationship which presents or may present a conflict between a Board member’s obligations to SCFSC and the Board member’s personal, business or other interests. 


3. All conflicts of interest are not necessarily prohibited or harmful to SCFSC. However, full disclosure of all actual and potential conflicts, and a determination by the disinterested Board (or SCFSC Executive Committee) members – with the interested Board member(s) recused from participating in debates and voting on the matter – are required. 


4. All actual and potential conflicts of interests shall be disclosed by Board members to the SCFSC Executive Committee through the annual disclosure form and/or whenever a conflict arises. The disinterested members of the SCFSC Executive Committee shall make a determination as to whether a conflict exists and what subsequent action is appropriate (if any). The SCFSC Executive Committee shall inform the Board of such determination and action. The Board shall retain the right to modify or reverse such determination and action, and shall retain the ultimate enforcement authority with respect to the interpretation and application of this policy.
