They are then required to sign a statement in agreement with the policy which also discloses any interests that could give rise to conflict. This is signed again at the first meeting of each calendar year, which coincides with the orientation. This ensures that everyone has submitted a signed statement. The president notifies each board and staff member of the information provided by such member. Failure to provide the information can result in removal of such member from the board or staff.
