SERC-NAHRO Regional officers, members of its Board of Governors, and senior members of its professional staff are required by SERC-NAHRO policy to complete and file annually a certification concerning real or apparent conflicts of interest. Please complete and file this certificate with the President on or before January 31st of the year of filing.
For purposes of completing this certificate: A conflict of interest arises when a person who is in a position of authority over SERC-NAHRO, its activities or its employees may benefit financially from a decision such person must or could make in his or her capacity as a SERC-NAHRO official or employee. This includes indirect benefits, such as benefits to family members, businesses in which the official or employee or a family member has an ownership or contractual interest or other material relationship, or benefits to other persons with whom the official or employee has a relationship that is not an arms length relationship.
SERC-NAHRO officials and employees are expected to avoid both real conflicts of interest and actions that result in the appearance of such a conflict. Using the above-stated definition as a guide, please indicate the following (Attach a separate sheet if additional space is necessary to provide adequate detail).
