“Conflicts of interest are reviewed routinely with semi-annual re-signing of the policy. Hcc staff must act at all times in the best interests of the organization and not for personal or third-party gain or financial enrichment. When encountering potential conflicts of interest, staff shall identify the potential conflict and, as required, remove themselves from all voting on the matter. Specifically, staff shall: - avoid placing (and avoid the appearance of placing) one's own self-interest or any third-party interest above that of hcc; while the receipt of incidental personal or third-party benefit may necessarily flow from certain hcc activities, such benefit must be merely incidental to the primary benefit to hcc and its purposes; - not abuse their position by improperly using services, equipment, materials, resources, or property for their personal or third-party gain or pleasure, and shall not represent to third parties that their authority extends any further than that which it actually extends; - not engage in any outside business, professional or other activities that would directly or indirectly materially adversely affect hcc; - not engage in or facilitate any discriminatory or harassing behavior directed toward hcc staff, members, officers, directors, meeting attendees, exhibitors, advertisers, sponsors, suppliers, contractors, or others in the context of activities relating to hcc; - not solicit or accept gifts, gratuities, free trips, honoraria, personal property, or any other item of value from any person or entity as a direct or indirect inducement to provide special treatment with respect to matters pertaining to hcc without fully disclosing such items; - provide goods or services to hcc as a paid vendor to hcc only after full disclosure to, and advance approval by, the board, and pursuant to any related procedures adopted by the board; - not persuade or attempt to persuade any employee of hcc to leave the employ of hcc or to become employed by any person or entity other than hcc; - not persuade or attempt to persuade any member, exhibitor, advertiser, sponsor, subscriber, supplier, contractor, or any other person or entity with an actual or potential relationship to or with hcc to terminate, curtail or not enter into its relationship to or with hcc, or to in any way reduce the monetary or other benefits to hcc of such relationship.”
