PRIVACY PRACTICES

Board of Directors

Conflict of Interest

Directors are expected to exercise their powers in the interest of the corporation not in their own interest or the interest of another entity or person. Essentially, the director should not use a corporate position for individual personal advantage.

In the course of serving on the Board, a director may encounter a situation where his or her duty to the nonprofit may be affected by personal intersts or obligations to another person or entity. Generally a director’s conflict will be cleared of any consequence by full disclosure, made before any action is taken, and approval of the subject action by a disinterested majority of directors. The director may want to be absent from that part of the meeting when the matter is being discussed and abstain from voting on the matter.

When a director has an interest in a transaction being considered by the Board, the director should disclose the conflict before any action is taken on the matter.

A director should treat as confidential all matters involving the agency until there has been general public disclosure or unless the information is a matter of public record or common knowledge. Disclosure should only be made through the agency’s designated spokesperson.
