“The caroline d. Bradley association of scholars (the "association") expects all persons associated with it to conduct business on behalf of the association with integrity and a high ethical standard. In particular, the association's directors, officers and employees should attempt to avoid activities or conduct which involve a conflict of interest, recognizing that even the appearance of a conflict of interest could harm the association. Any activity should be able to be justified and withstand public scrutiny, and care should be taken to avoid adversely affecting the integrity or the reputation of the association. In considering whether a conflict of interest exists, directors, officers and employees should remember that relationships of their business, business associates, family and friends may give rise to a potential conflict of interest even if such director, officer or employee is not involved directly. A potential conflict can exist where the parties in the relationship give or receive, or could reasonably be perceived to give or receive, unfair advantage or preferential treatment because of the relationship. Using the foregoing principles and guidelines of this policy on business ethics and conflict of interest (the "policy"), all directors, officers and employees of the association shall act in good faith and use their best judgment to bring to the attention of the president or secretary of the association any conflict of interest, real or perceived, whether financial or otherwise, between any of them and the association. The president or secretary, acting jointly or alone, shall determine whether an actual conflict of interest exists and make a determination on the proposed action, transaction or other activity (the "activity"). If, in the judgment of the president, there is a potential conflict and the activity is sufficiently material, the matter shall be presented to the board of directors. At the discretion of the board of directors, the interested party may attend the meeting of the board of directors and answer questions and provide information about the potential conflict of interest and the activity; provided, however, the interested party shall otherwise recuse himself or herself from the meeting and shall not be present during debate and voting on the matter. In connection with conflicts related to financial transactions, all actions of the board of directors shall be undertaken in compliance with applicable federal law relevant to "intermediate sanctions and applicable california law relevant to self-dealing transactions”
