“The ethical standards, to which each EBCPA employee must strictly adhere to,includes an obligation for each employee to conduct their personal andprofessional activities to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest between such employee's obligations andresponsibilities to their role at EBCPA and any other obligations and duties theymay have which are not affiliated with EBCPA. We recognize that this is largely amatter of personal judgment; accordingly, the purpose of this policy is to offerguidance and general direction and are not intended to provide a comprehensive listof all situations that may arise. The main purpose of this policy is to ensure fulldisclosure and open communication between all parties so that all parties benefit,and no party is adversely impacted by such participation in outside professional orpersonal activities.If, in addition to his or her work for EBCPA, an employee is employed by, associatewith, promotes, sponsors or supports a program, institution or organization otherthan EBCPA, he or she must be careful to avoid situations in which the interest ofthe EBCPA students, programs, community or funders actually or potentiallyconflicts with the interests of such other program, institution or organization.Moreover, the employee must, if possible, avoid the appearance of such aconflict of interest. Therefore, if an EBCPA employee proposes or considersrecommending or introducing an existing or prior student of EBCPA to anotherprogram institution or organization, by making such recommendation orintroduction directly to the student or through his or her parent or other mentor,the employee must notify and seek prior approval from the Executive Director, orhis or her designate. The intent of this disclosure is to ensure that EBCPAemployees demonstrate interest in the wellbeing and education of all of itsstudents as well as to support the collective goals of the institution.This rule, as to the avoidance of conflict of interest and seeking prior approvalfrom the Executive Director or his or her designee, applies equally to an EBCPAemployee's own activities. Thus, if an EBCPA employee proposes or considersinvolving an existing or prior student of EBCPA in non-EBCPA activities in which heor she is involved or which he or she conducts that are similar in type to activities offered or available to such student at EBCPA, (including, for instance, teaching, instruction, or participation in lessons, classes, workshops, ensembles orperformances apart from such activities at the EBCPA), the employee must notifyand seek prior approval from the Executive Director, or his or her designate.Employees should not engage in any activities or outside employment that createsan actual or potential conflict of interest between the employees interests andtheir ability to complete their job duties effectively, efficiently and objectively.EBCPA prohibits any employee from publicizing, providing or making available toany other program, institution, organization or individual any intellectual property,(including designs, plans, ideas, and data) proprietary video or audio recordings,and any other confidential, trade secret or proprietary materials generated by EBCPA, its employees, its faculty employees, or its students while participating in EBCPA activities, unless such publication or provision is duly authorized by the prior approval of the Executive Director or designee.Prior to committing to an engagement which includes EBCPA students, anemployee must disclose the engagement and receive prior approval from theExecutive Director or designee. In some cases, the Executive Director maydetermine that written approval is required. Any employee who violates this policy,whether he or she gains personally or not as a result, may be subject todisciplinary action, up to and including termination.Failure to disclose the fact of a conflict or potential conflict may constitute grounds for disci”
