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?
