To add some perspective, the Trustees are all well meaning, unpaid volunteers, trying to support the charities, however they are hampered by what they are told, or not told, of the day to day workings. The information they are fed comes from the CEO with no analysis from the Trustees, except occasional meetings with a diluted snap shot of the state of things in general terms.
The Trustess are completely reliant on information for their deliberations and decisions from the CEO, so the conflict of interest will always exist as Trustess are asked to make decisions given part facts depending on how they need to be guided to get to the right decision

I don't think that was vague or shrouded in anything!
What seems slightly odd on first look is that you have an association and yet there are obviously big gaps between the organisations, yet this isn't a new field of operation.
