CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND BY THE TREASURER FOR OTHER MEMBERS OF HALO. IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS A MATERIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHICH AFFECTS THE ABILITY OF A PARTICULAR TRUSTEE TO CARRY OUT HIS OR HER DUTIES THEN THE TRUSTEE CONCERNED SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER IT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF CHARITY THAT HE/SHE CONTINUES AS A TRUSTEE OF THE CHARITY. IN THE EVENT OF A CONFLICT CONSIDERED BY THE UNCONFLICTED TRUSTEES TO BE SO FUNDAMENTAL OR PERVASIVE THAT IS WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL TO REMAIN A TRUSTEE, PROCEDURES MAY BE PUT IN MOTION WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE INDIVIDUAL BEING ASKED TO RESIGN FROM THE BOARD. IN SUCH A CASE THE TRUSTEE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD. HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT THAT A TRUSTEE IS ASKED TO RESIGN, THEY SHOULD RESPECT THE MAJORITY DECISION AND RESIGN AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY. ALL EMPLOYEES AT A SENIOR MANAGEMENT LEVEL ARE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A DECLARATION OF RELEVANT INTERESTS, PARTICULARLY IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THEY MAY BE INVOLVED IN THE PROCUREMENT OF GOODS OR SERVICES, OR DECISION MAKING, WHERE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY IMPACT ON THE DECISION.
