“An orlando science center trustee, staff member, or volunteer should conduct all of his or her activities, including those relating to persons or businesses with whom the person is closely associated, in such a way that no conflict will arise between the other interests and the policies, operations or interests of the science center. The appearance of such conflict should also be avoided. Orlando science center trustees, staff, or volunteers should not associate the science center with any personal political activities. Osc is prohibited by law from participation in political campaigns. Trustees, staff and volunteers are prohibited from using the organization's name in connection with any political activity. When orlando science center trustees seek staff assistance for personal needs they should not expect that such help will be rendered to an extent greater than that available to a member of the general public in similar circumstances or with similar needs. Osc believes that the most priceless asset of an employee, or of the organization, is its integrity. Osc fully expects that all employees observe the highest professional ethical standards in dealings in which they represent the center. In the same fashion, osc expects that all employees, in their representation of the organization, avoid activities that create a conflict of interest with their responsibilities to the center. It is the employee's duty to follow the guidelines about conflicts of interest. If this is not clear to the employee or if there are questions about conflicts of interest, the employee is to contact the human resources department.”
