nonprofit association because the contract, action, or transaction is between or affects

the association and one or more of its members, managers, or officers or is between

or affects the association and any other person in which one or more of the association's

members, managers, or officers are members, managers, or officers or in which one

or more of the association's members, managers, or officers have a financial or personal

interest, or because one or more interested members, managers, or officers participate

in or vote at the meeting of the members, the managers, or a committee of the managers

that authorizes the contract, action, or transaction, if any of the following applies: (a) The material facts as to the member's, manager's, or officer's relationship or interest

and as to the contract, action, or transaction are disclosed or are known to the managers

or the committee, and the managers or committee, in good faith reasonably justified

by the material facts, authorizes the contract, action, or transaction by the affirmative

vote of a majority of the disinterested managers, even though the disinterested managers

constitute less than a quorum of the managers or the committee. (b) The material facts as to the member's, manager's, or officer's relationship or interest

and as to the contract, action, or transaction are disclosed or are known to the members

entitled to vote on the contract, action, or transaction, and the contract, action,

of voting on the contract, action, or transaction, by the affirmative vote of a majority

of the voting members of the unincorporated nonprofit association who are not interested

in the contract, action, or transaction. (c) The contract, action, or transaction is fair as to the unincorporated nonprofit association
