“Actual or possible conflicts of interest must be disclosed. The person affected is given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the conflict and all material facts, and after any discussion with the affected person,that person shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. And if so will determine the actions to be taken. If the board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that a person has failed to disclose an actual or possible ocnflict of interest, it shall inform the person of the basis for such belief and afford the person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If after hearing the response of the person and making such further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the board or committee determines that the person has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”

“Governing documents will be made available upon request.”

“We believe that communities thrive when they draw on participants' personal experiences and local cultures. By telling stories - whether in the form of performance, radio, video, or other media - communities build power, envision new democratic possibilities, and change culture and policy. Our work is located at the intersection of arts, technology, and social change. We work with grassroots groups, nonprofits, foundations, media-makers and journalists in the u.s. South and beyond.”

“Working narratives volunteers supported our public art, community education, and outreach activities by providing support in outreach and organizing events.”

“Working narratives provides: training in how to tell and deploy stories, technology to produce and disseminate those stories, production of compelling stories to serve as model projects for the grassroots, and networking to build power in and among social justice individuals and groups that use narrative forms.
