Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The Conflict of Interest Policy covers any interested person, or any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest. A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family: an ownership or investment interest in any entity with which NWABA has a transaction or arrangement; a compensation arrangement with NWABA or with any entity or individual with which NWABA has a transaction or arrangement; or a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which NWABA is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.Interested persons have the duty to disclose any actual or possible conflict of interest to the Board or Executive Committee. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the Board or Executive Committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining Board or Executive Committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists.After exercising due diligence, the Board or Executive Committee shall determine whether NWABA can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonable possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the Board or Executive Committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in NWABA's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.The interested person may recuse himself or herself at any time from involvement in any decision or discussion in which the director believes he or she has or may have a conflict of interest, without going through the process for determining whether a conflict of interest exists.
