Code of Conduct & Conflict of Interest Notice
All Las Sendas volunteers, including board members, must sign a code of conduct when appointed to a committee, working group or advisory group. This code of conduct includes a clause about conflicts of interest:
“If any service agreement, contract, decision or other action for compensation taken by or on behalf of the Board would benefit any Committee or Group member; or any person who is a parent, grandparent, spouse, child or sibling of a Committee or Group member; or a parent or spouse of any of those persons, that Committee or Group member shall declare a conflict of interest for that issue and should recuse himself or herself from a Committee’s or Group’s deliberation and voting. The Committee or Group member shall also declare the conflict in an open board meeting before the Board discusses or takes action on that issue.”
