We are about to incorporate into our board bylaws a clause dealing with
conflicts of interest.  We don't want to prohibit board members from
having business dealings with the museum, but we do want to make it
explicit that board members will receive no special consideration in
those dealings.  I am looking for suggestions about the wording of such
a clause and would appreciate it if staff members at other museums
would let me know how their boards' conflicts-of-interest clauses
read.  I should point out that our board is a nongoverning volunteer
board.

Please respond to:  [log in to unmask]
