“The standard of behavior at ruby's place is that all staff, volunteers, and board members scrupulously avoid conflicts of interest between the interests of ruby's place on one hand, and personal, professional, and business interests on the other. This includes avoiding potential and actual conflicts of interest, as well as perceptions of conflicts of interest. Upon or before election, hiring, or appointment, the individual will make a full, written disclosure of interests, relationships, and holdings that could potentially result in a conflict of interest. This written disclosure will be kept on file and will be updated as appropriate. After a potential conflict is disclosed, the individual will be asked to leave the room for the discussion and will not be permitted to vote on the question.”
