POLICY AND AGREEMENTConflict of Interest Policy and Agreement • November 21st, 2016
Contract Type FiledNovember 21st, 2016It is important for Board of Directors and Head Start Policy Council members to be aware that both real and apparent conflicts of interest or dualities of interest sometimes occur in the course of conducting the affairs of their duties and that the appearance of conflict can be troublesome even if there is in fact no conflict whatsoever. Conflicts occur because the many persons associated with the agency (and programs) should be expected to have, multiple interests and affiliations and various positions of responsibility within the community. In these situations, a person will sometimes owe identical duties of loyalty to two or more organizations.
