How to Manage Conflicts of Interest: A Guide for Nonprofit Boards (Booklet)

Daniel L. Kurtz (National Center for Nonprofit Boards, 1999)
Even though conflicts of interest are at the heart of a growing number of controversies involving nonprofit governance, few board members and chief executives understand exactly what constitutes a conflict of interest and how board members can avoid it. Attorney Daniel Kurtz, a former New York charity regulator, explains the legal context of conflict of interest, offers examples of potential conflicts, and suggests guidelines for avoiding them. The booklet includes samples of conflict-of-interest policies and a checklist of items to consider when establishing a policy. Softcover, 20 pages, $12 (Nonmember), $9 (Member)
