V. POLICIES

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY

The Center For Development strives diligently to prevent, monitor, and correct all possible conflicts of interest, potential conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts of interest that arise among the directors, officers, employees and volunteers.

Code of Conduct. The Center For Development is a public foundation and has a responsibility to serve the public interest in the best way possible. In order to do this, all directors, officers, employees and volunteers of the foundation will adhere to a code of ethics and conduct in which they agree to act at all times with the highest level of integrity, honesty, transparency, and professionalism.

All those associated with the Center For Development must have unconflicted loyalty to the interests of the foundation. No one may benefit personally or derive personal gain or profit from their association with the Center For Development besides their recognized salary or any other standard benefits the foundation may offer all of its employees.

There will be no self-dealing or private business by anyone associated with the foundation.

In dealing with others, those working with the foundation may not speak for the foundation unless their speech is authorized by the Board of Directors.

Definitions. A conflict of interest occurs when someone involved in an organization is somehow involved in a decision-making process in which other interests might influence his or her decision.

For example, if a director has a family member that receives a grant from the foundation, there would be a conflict of interest that could influence the directors decision regarding this grant.

Disclosure. Upon taking office, all directors, employees and volunteers will disclose to the board of directors if they have any possible conflicts of interest that may impact their service to the foundation. In addition, once a year all directors, employees and volunteers will disclose any possible conflicts of interest they may have.

Action. If a director, officer, employee or volunteer has a conflict of interest regarding a particular matter, that officer is required to recuse himself or herself from any decision-making or deliberation involving the conflict of interest.
