It is understood that US Squash serves as the fiscal sponsor of the Association. Therefore, the fact that a director or officer of the Association also serves as a director or member of the governing board of US Squash will not, unless circumstances dictate otherwise, be deemed to bestow a personal or financial benefit on the director or officer such that a conflict of interest exists.

(b)  Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting of the Board or of a committee which authorizes such contracts.

(c)  The minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof will reflect (a) that the conflict of interest was disclosed, (b) that the interested director, officer or staff member was not present during the final discussion or vote of the Board of Directors or committee thereof and (c) that the interested individual abstained from voting.

(d)  All questions as to whether a conflict of interest exists will be resolved by a vote of the Board of Directors in which the interested individual may not vote.

(e)  A conflict of interest disclosure statement will be furnished annually to the Board by each director, officer and staff member.  The disclosure statements will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors or by a committee thereof.  In addition, each director, officer and staff member must report promptly to the Association any potential conflict of interest as and when it arises.

(f)   In determining whether to approve such contract or transaction, disinterested directors will take into account the restrictions regarding either self-dealing under Section 4941 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in the case of an organization classified as a private foundation or excess benefit transactions under Section 4958 of the Code, in the case of an organization classified as a public charity.
