It may be that there needs to be a separate document covering conflict of interest for the IAOC and Trustees and this document would then just indicate that members will comply with that policy at all times.
I found www.nonprofitrisk.org/advice/samples/ConflictPolicy.doc and others googling "conflict of interest policy non-profit". They may be a decent starting point for establishing a COI policy. I don't think you can actually capture what the behavior we expect of the board members with respect to COI in just a single paragraph. Mike At 06:10 PM 5/28/2010, Ted Hardie wrote: >> 9.
