    It is the policy of Art & Creativity for Healing that its relationships in transactions with individuals outside the organization and with other business concerns be conducted at all times on a highly ethical basis. To this end, the sole consideration must be the best interest of the organization. Consequently, decisions made in conducting such relationships and transactions must not be influenced by self-interest on the part of an officer, trustee, or employee that is actually or potentially in conflict with the best interest of the organization.<\/p>\n

    To avoid conflicts of interest, the following should be deemed circumstances actually or potentially involving such conflict:<\/p>\n

    1. Ownership by an officer, trustee, or other employee or member in his\/her family of a financial interest in any organization doing business with the organization as a supplier, except to the extent that such financial interest is an investment, normal in amount, in a business concern listed on a stock exchange or actively traded over the counter.<\/p>\n

    2. Any relationship, as an officer, trustee, or employee, whether or not for personal gain, with supplier or such relationship with another individual or business concern under conditions limiting performance of his\/her service to the organization.<\/p>\n

    3. Receipts of any payments, compensation, or valuable gifts or favors, in any form, from any organization doing business with the organization.<\/p>\n

    4. Use of a position with the organization to exercise influence for the purpose of benefiting the employee or members of his or her family.<\/p>\n

    5. Use of the organization\u2019s assets for any employee\u2019s personal benefit.<\/p>\n

    6. Divulging confidential information.<\/p>\n

    This statement of policy shall be distributed to every officer, trustee, and employee on an annual basis. A form will accompany his policy statement with space to report any known exceptions. Also, a space will be provided for a signature. All exceptions to the above must have the prior approval of the board of trustees and the executive committee.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
