Some of you recently discussed conflict of interest statements and policies 
related to collections.  I would like samples of similar statements related 
to board member affiliations with other organizations.  We have board 
members who are on the boards of, or work for, other institutions (not 
necessarily museums), and actively persue grants and funding for those other 
entities.  Things get sticky when our museum discusses funding opportunities 
for which we may end up competing against those organizations that our board 
members work for or with.  It is tricky to determine what is inappropriate 
as we have no guidelines or policies governing this type of behavior.  Can 
anyone provide me with statements or policies you use?
