“Per the board governance policies of the organization, the following is the board member conflict of interest policy and procedure for contracting with board members for professional services: association board members have a legal responsibility to the association and its members and may be held responsible for failing to honor those obligations. A board member: 1. Must look out for the association's and member's best interests, not his/her own. 2. Must not experience personal gain from his/her affiliation as a member of the board. 3. Must not participate in the decision making process if the decision affects that individual. Example: if voting on a host center for the association tournament, a proprietor member of the board should not vote and should excuse themselves from the discussions. (see below) 4. Must maintain confidentiality in any matter the board deems as confidential. A conflict of interest occurs when an officer, director or employee of the bay area usbc association owns or has a vested interest (or potentially owns or has a vested interest) in any entity with which the association has a direct or indirect compensation arrangement. No officer, director or employee of the bay area usbc association or any member of their immediate family shall personally benefit from any dealing with bay area usbc association other than by normal, reasonable, and just compensation for services rendered or by objective and independent selection through normal granting procedures. Any activity, position or other interest which may involve obligations that conflict or appear to conflict with the interest of the bay area usbc association must be promptly disclosed by the officers, directors, volunteers and employees. When a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists, the officer, director, volunteer holding delegated powers or employee shall announce the conflict before discussion occurs and abstain from voting on any action related to such matter. Any officer or director who fails to disclose a conflict of interest shall be subject to removal from office; any employee who fails to disclose a conflict of interest shall be subject to termination of employment. Each officer, director and employee shall annually sign a statement, which affirms that such person: 1 has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, 2 has read and understands the policy 3 has agreed to comply with the policy 4 understands that the association is a charitable organization and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish its tax-exempt purposes.”
