This Conflict-of-Interest Policy guides the activities of the board, volunteers, authorized instructors and staff of PEMAC. Questions about the policy should be directed to the Executive Director.
PEMAC believes that in a society where individuals assume a range of responsibilities at different organizations through their career and volunteering that it is inevitable that the appearance of- or an actual-conflict-of-interest may arise at one time or another as a routine course of business.
As a key component that relates to our organizational values, having conversations about any potential conflict of interest serves to enhance our integrity, credibility and accountability to each other and the public. As a result, PEMAC developed a detailed policy around conflict of interest; it is important that all volunteers familiarize themselves with this policy and declare any potential conflicts for discussion with the Executive Director. If a conflict of interest arises through the course of experience in a role or is detected by another staff or volunteer, a conversation can be arranged to manage the conflict with as much integrity as possible.
