The Bancroft PTO is committed to ethical leadership and transparent decision-making.
A conflict of interest exists whenever a Board member's personal, professional, financial, or family interests could reasonably influence, or appear to influence, a decision made on behalf of the organization.
Examples may include, but are not limited to:
- Ownership of or employment by a business that provides goods or services to the PTO.
- Financial interests that could benefit from a Board decision.
- Family relationships or close personal relationships with potential vendors.
- Any circumstance that could reasonably create the appearance of a conflict.
Having a potential conflict of interest does not prevent Board service. However, all actual or potential conflicts should be disclosed so they can be managed openly and appropriately.
