“All employees receive the conflict of interest policy in the handbook at hire and with any revisions. This is documented with a signed form. All board members sign off on the policy annually when sworn in for the year. The policy is: "conflicts of interest employees must conduct themselves in such a way as to avoid actual or potential conflicts of interest. The following are examples of prohibited conflicts of interest in any aspect of their jobs: o acting as a director, officer, consultant, agent or employee of a supplier, customer, competitor or any entity that engages in business with the agency; o owning a material interest in or being a creditor of or having other financial interest in a supplier, customer, competitor or any entity that engages in business with the agency; o receiving from or giving to any supplier, customer or competitor gifts, gratuities, special allowances, discounts or other advantages not generally available to employees of the agency; o having any significant direct or indirect personal interest in a business transaction involving the agency; o conducting outside activities that materially detract from or interfere with the full and timely performance of an employee's services for the agency; or o influencing commercial transactions involving purchases, contracts or leases in a way that would have a negative impact on the agency or its business. If an employee finds that he or she has, or is considering the assumption of, a financial interest or outside employment relationship that might involve a conflict of interest, or if the employee is in doubt concerning the proper application of this policy, he or she should promptly discuss the matter with the executive director and refrain from exercising responsibility on the agency's behalf in any manner that might reasonably be considered to be affected by any adverse interest. Failure to disclose the fact of a conflict or potential conflict may constitute grounds for disciplinary action. This policy in no way prohibits employee affiliations or activities that are protected under applicable state and federal laws, including but not limited to any activity that is protected under section 7 of the national labor relations act, which includes the right of employees to organize collectively and to speak with others about their terms and conditions of employment."”
