Board Member Conflict of Interest Policy

To insure that its actions are not tainted by personal interest or appearance of personal interest, the Lambertville Area Education Foundation Board of Directors directs that any member who has a personal interest in a matter before the Board provide full disclosure of that interest at the outset of the debate or when he/she first becomes aware of it. If the member or the Board decides that the interest is significant, the member will abstain from any vote on the subject.
