Conflict of Interest. A conflict of interest is deemed to exist when an
interested person has actual or potential personal gain or the
appearance of personal gain at the expense of the corporation. Personal
gain or the appearance of personal gain does not necessarily preclude work
for hire, contracts for services, or other business transactions provided
proper procedures are followed. Further, a conflict of interest exists if
an interested person takes advantage of information available to him or
her concerning the acquisition or deaccession of collections' objects for
his or her own personal collecting activities;
an interested person competes for personal gain in the purchase of any
object that is being considered or is likely to be considered for the
museum's collections;
an interested person purchases or otherwise acquires objects from the
collections through the act of deaccessioning or any other means;
an interested person sells, trades, or otherwise make commitments of
museum collection items or uses his or her affiliation with the corporation
to further his or her own personal collections; or,
an interested person accepts any significant gifts or favors from any
organization that has business dealings with the corporation.
Interested Person. Any director, officer, member of a standing committee or
task force or paid and unpaid staff who has a direct or indirect financial
interest in a transaction or arrangement is an “interested person” with
respect to that transaction or arrangement.
Financial Interest. A person has a “financial interest” in a transaction or
arrangement if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business,
investment or family: (i) an ownership or investment interest in any entity
with which the corporation has a transaction or arrangement, (ii) a
compensation arrangement with the corporation or with any entity or
individual with which the corporation has a transaction or arrangement, or
(iii) a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation
arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the corporation is
negotiating a transaction or arrangement. Compensation includes direct and
indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are substantial in
nature.
Family Member. A person’s “family” is limited to such person’s: (i) spouse,
(ii) brothers or sisters by whole or half blood, (iii) spouses of brothers
or sisters by whole or half blood, (iv) parents, grandparents and great
grandparents (v) children, including those legally adopted, (vi)

Subject: Personal Collecting by Board Members
How many of you include volunteers and board members in your collections
policy/personnel policy as it relates to personal collecting codes of
conduct? In your opinion, should the personal collecting habits of board
members differ from those of the museum staff?
