In addition to listing all conflicts of interest and disclosures, all candidates applying to become a 107IST board member must read and understand the following statement: *
107 Independent Supporters Trust board members must scrupulously avoid any conflict of interest between the interests of 107IST and its members on one hand, and personal, professional, and business interests on the other. This includes avoiding actual conflicts of interest as well as perceptions of conflicts of interest. I understand that the purposes of this policy are: to protect the integrity of the 107IST decision-making process, to enable our members to have confidence in our integrity, and to protect the integrity and reputation of members and board members. If elected to office, in the course of meetings or activities, I will disclose any interests in a transaction or decision where I (including my business or other nonprofit affiliation), my family and/or my significant other, employer, or close associates will receive a benefit or gain. After disclosure, I understand that I may be asked to leave the room for the discussion and may not be permitted to vote on the question.
