“Upon or before hire, election, or appointment, each employee and board member must provide full written disclosure of all direct or indirect financial interests that could reasonably result in a conflict of interest. Examples include employer, business, and other nonprofit affiliations, and identities of close family members or a significant other. This written disclosure will be kept on file and will be updated annually and as needed. See syf conflict of interest disclosure form. Employees and board members must disclose any interests in a proposed transaction or decision that may create a conflict of interest. After disclosure, the employee or board member will not be permitted to participate in the transaction or decision. Should there be a dispute as to whether a conflict of interest exists, the executive directors shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists for an employee and choose the appropriate response and the board shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists for the executive directors or a board member and shall determine the appropriate response. Employees, board, and committee members of syf must inform either the executive directors or the president of the board of any conflict of interest they have or any that may arise during their time with syf. This must be done in writing via email or letter.”
