Bylaw Amendment -These Bylaws may be amended, altered, repealed or restated by a vote of the majority of the committee members in office at any meeting. 031318wsa HC BOC Page 25 ( ARTICLE VID CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND AGREEMENT It is important for the Employee Benefits Committee, its officers and members to be aware that both real and apparent conflicts of interest sometimes occur in the course of conducting the affairs of the committee and that the appearance of the conflict can be troublesome even if there is in fact no conflict whatsoever. Conflicts occur because the many persons associated with the committee should be expected to have, and do in fact generally have multiple interests and affiliations and various positions of responsibility within the community. In these situations, a person will sometimes owe identical duties of loyalty to two or more people. The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to protect the committee's interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of office or member of the committee, or that might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. This conflict of interest policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal law. Conflicts are undesirable because they potentially place the interests of others ahead of the committee 's obligations to its charitable purposes and to the public interest. Conflicts are also undesirable because they often reflect adversely upon the person involved and upon the institutions with which they are affiliated, regardless of the actual facts or motivations of the parties. However, the long-range best interests of the corporation do not require the termination of all association with persons who may have real of apparent conflicts which are harmless to all individuals involved. Each member of the committee has a duty of loyalty to the committee. The duty of loyalty generally requires a member to prefer the interest of the committee over their individual interest or the interests of others. In addition, members of the committee shall avoid acts of self-dealing which may adversely affect the purpose of reputation of this committee.
