Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of ConflictsBoard Members, Business Professionals who serve on Board Committees, Officers, and Key Employees are required to disclose or update annually their interests and those of their family members that could give rise to conflicts of interest. Insiders must avoid any actual or apparent conflicts of interest, or shall appropriately manage the conflict or apparent conflict through disclosure and recusal. The conflicted party or potential conflicted party shall recuse him or herself from any discussion and voting on the matter. In addition, other techniques shall be used as necessary to ensure that the letter and spirit of this conflict of interest policy are followed. Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may occur because persons associated with the Elk Foundation may have multiple interests and affiliations, and various positions of responsibility. It is possible that an individual may owe duties of loyalty to more than one organization. Nonetheless, any conflict of interest, or situations potentially involving conflicts of interest, shall be fully disclosed, and shall be managed so that the integrity, reputation and tax exempt tax status of the Elk Foundation will be maintained, including recusal of the conflicted party from consideration of the issue.When engaging in land and easement transactions with insiders, RMEF shall follow this Conflict of Interest policy; document that the project meets the RMEFs mission; follow all transaction policies and procedures; and ensure that there is no private inurement or impermissible private benefit. For purchases from and sales of property to Insiders, RMEF shall obtain a qualified independent appraisal prepared in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice by a state-licensed or state-certified appraiser who has verifiable conservation easement or conservation real estate experience. Additionally, when selling property to Insiders, the RMEF shall widely market the property in a manner sufficient to ensure that the property is sold at or above fair market value and to avoid the reality or perception that the sale inappropriately benefited an Insider. Any RMEF Staff members involved in a conflict of interest, potential conflict of interest, or appearance of a conflict of interest, will disclose this information to his or her supervisor, as well as RMEFs Director of Human Resources and General Counsel. These individuals, or their delegees, will determine a recommended course of action consistent with this Policy and Standard Operating Procedures.If any Insider is involved in a conflict of interest, potential conflict of interest, or appearance of a conflict of interest, such Insider will disclose this to the Chairman of the RMEF Board of Directors and RMEFs General Counsel, who, along with appropriate Board Members and/or Staff, will determine a recommended course of action consistent with this Policy and Standard Operating Procedures.The General Counsel will report conflicts of interest and recommended courses of action to the RMEF Audit Committee.
