Conflict of Interest
For the purposes of this document, Conflict of Interest is best described as a convergence of a CPMEA member’s career interests with his or her volunteer committee interests, such that an independent observer might reasonably question whether the CPMEA member’s volunteer committee actions or decisions are improperly influenced by considerations of personal career gain or loss. These interests most often relate but are not restricted to: advancement; income; position; and prestige held by the individual, but could also be manifest as feelings of intimidation due to a career conflict, resulting in the inability to act freely in the voluntary committee capacity.
In the event of a possible conflict of interest the general procedure is:
- The member will disclose the potential conflict to the Executive;
- The member will manage the conflict through transparency; or
- The member shall withdraw from the relevant standing committee or University committee/council.
If the member is a chair/co-chair of a committee or is part of the Executive:
- The member shall withdraw from the relevant committee; or
- The member shall withdraw from the Executive.
