[Coc] UCM Conflict of Interest Policy - annual reminder

[Ron Cameron]

Dear Committee of Chairs members,

 

As we get off and running with another exciting church year, we are all
asked to review and abide by the UCM Conflict of Interest policy.  It is
attached and pasted below. 

 

This can be shared with committee members as you deem useful or necessary. 

Please contact any members of the ET (myself, John Turner, Jeanne
Richardson, or Rev. Joan,)  if you have any questions.

 

Thanks, 

Ron Cameron 

for the Executive Team

 

 

UCM Conflict of Interest Policy (from Financial Policies):

 

II. CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY

This Conflict of Interest Policy was developed following recommendations
made by an independent auditor in January of 2012, based on the auditor's
review of the existing financial management policies of the Church. The
policy is adapted from the UUA Conflict of Interest Policy.

All officers, employees, Board members and Executive Team members of the
Unitarian Church of Montpelier and all members of UCM committees shall
scrupulously avoid any conflict between their personal, professional, or
business interests and the interests of the Church.

No officer, employee, Board member, Executive Team member or committee
member of the Church may use or influence the use of the Church's financial,
personnel, or other resources for personal benefit, or for any purposes
other than the achievement of the ends of the Church.

A "conflict of interest" is any actual or potential situation in which an
individual's close relationship to another party would make it difficult for
the individual to be unbiased in carrying out his or her obligations to the
Church.

The Executive Team shall assure that all officers, employees, Governing
Board and Executive Team members, and committee chairs are informed of this
policy in writing via email or other method.

Any Church officer, employee, Governing Board or Executive Team member or
committee chair shall disclose possible conflicts of interest to the
Executive Team. Any issues related to the Conflict of Interest Policy shall
be directed to the Executive Team.
