Board of Trustees Application

Conflict of Interest Statement

The standard of behavior at Parent to Parent of Miami is that all staff, volunteers, and board members scrupulously avoid conflicts of interest between the interests of Parent to Parent of Miami 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.

I understand that the purposes of this policy are to protect the integrity of the Parent to Parent of Miami's decision-making process, to enable our members and the community to have confidence in our integrity, and to protect the integrity and reputations of volunteers, staff and Board members. In order to facilitate this policy, I will complete a disclosure statement listing my employment, business interests, organizations or affiliations that might become conflicts. This written disclosure statement will be kept on file and I will update it as appropriate.

In the course of meetings or activities, I will disclose any interests in a transaction or decision where I (including my business or other non-profit affiliations), my family and/or my significant other, employer, close associates will receive a benefit or gain. After disclosure, I understand that I will be asked to leave the room for the discussion and will not be permitted to vote on the question.

I understand that this policy is meant to supplement good judgment, and I will respect its spirit as well as its wording.
