then it shall ratify the transaction at its next regularly scheduled meeting by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office not counting the vote of any interested director(who shall be absent from the room during the deliberation and vote on the matter). Policy on Outside Employment by Staff It is the position of the Board of Directors that conflicts of interest, or the appearance of conflicts of interest, may arise when TPL employees having project or management responsibilities are engaged in employment(including consulting, self-employment or private businesses) in addition to TPL employment. It shall be the policy of the organization that any employee with project or management responsibilities who has,employment outside of TPL shall disclose such employment to his or her regional or department manager, who may approve such employment upon a finding that (1) such outside employment does not interfere with the employee's work at TPL work, (2) such employment does not present a conflict of interest with TPL's work, and(3) such employment does not present the appearances of a conflict of interest Such finding shall be in writing and included in the employee's personnel file. Any employee who has outside employment relating to real estate, land conservation, or other fields closely aligned to TPL's work, shall consult frequently with his/her regional or departmental manager to avoid situations presenting conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest. Moreover,the appearance of a conflict of interest, as well as the potential for an actual conflict, is especially likely to exist whenever a TPL employee negotiates on behalf of any person other than TPL to convey property to any governmental entity to which TPL conveys, or is likely to convey,property in the ordinary course of TPL's work. Therefore, it is the policy of TPL that no employee shall be permitted to negotiate, or offer to sell or transfer property to any governmental entity other than on behalf of TPL. The General Counsel may authorize an exception to this rule in the event that unusual circumstances arise. Notification of Board and Staff of this Policy It shall be the responsibility of the General Counsel to ensure that all directors, officers and employees are provided a copy of this policy. This policy supercedes the standing resolutions adopted March 28, 1974,March 15, 1985, and June 28, 1991. l:\SHAREDI NATLEG INATL\Con11ictoflnterestPolicy final Jan2005.doc TPL Conflict of Interest Policy I-20-05 6
