“Conflicts of interest northlake hope center has guidelines to avoid real or potential conflicts of interest in all business dealings and other ministry activities. It is the responsibility of all staff to strictly adhere to these guidelines. For more specifics or any questions related to conflicts of interest, contact the executive director. When a staff member conducts business with another organization or contractor, they must do so within the guidelines established herein. Business relationships should not result in unusual gains for anyone involved in the relationship. "unusual gains" are defined as: bribes, bonuses, kick backs, special fringe benefits, and other windfalls that will benefit anyone involved in the relationship. The executive director must first approve any business or other relationship and/or amount of compensation that could be interpreted as resulting in unusual gains. A conflict of interest exists when a person is in a position to influence a decision or have business dealings on behalf of northlake hope center that might result in an unusual gain for anyone at all (staff member, relative, organization, employee of an organization, contractor, etc.). For the purposes of this policy, a relative is any person who is related to anyone involved in the relationship by blood or marriage, or whose relationship is similar to being a relative even if they are not related by blood or marriage. Northlake hope center does not automatically assume that there is a conflict of interest if a staff member has a relationship with another organization, contractor, etc. However, if the staff member has any influence on transactions involving purchases, contracts, leases, etc. They must inform the executive director as soon as possible. Informing the executive director that there is the possibility of an actual or potential conflict of interest or any possible appearance thereof, northlake hope center staff members are safeguarded from potential accusations or scrutiny. The possibility for personal gain is not limited to situations where a staff member has significant ownership in a firm with which northlake hope center does business.
