As volunteer leaders of H.A.U.C, Committee and Board Members should model the highest standards of ethics and individual conduct. While the “Pledge” outlines general principles guiding our ethical conduct, the following points illustrate important applications that are relevant to the work of committee and Board Members. The points below are not intended to be all-inclusive. Committee and Board Members are encouraged to utilize their own good judgment in maintaining the highest standards of ethics.Conflict of Interest:

​

• We will not place our  personal interest in conflict with the interest of H.A.U.C and will avoid any conduct that may impair our judgment with respect to H.A.U.C

• We will not, directly or indirectly, benefit improperly from our position or from any sale, purchase, or other activity of the organization.

• We will avoid situations involving conflict or the appearance of conflict between duty to the organization and personal interest.

• We will not accept from or give to any current or potential supplier, customer, competitor, or donor any payment, service, gratuity, gifts or favors.

• We will not ask for or receive cash, kickbacks, bribes, gifts or favors.

• We will avoid any outside business relationships with donors, other businesses or competitors if that relationship creates a conflict of interest by influencing decisions made by me in the performance of my regular duties for H.A.U.C.

• ​

• We will commit ourself to faithfully carrying out our duties and advancing the mission of H.A.U.C.

• We will work cooperatively with others, determined to be a cohesive and integrated member of the team working towards a common purpose and celebrating a shared set of principles.

Assets, Financial Reporting and Transactions:

• We will do our part in ensuring that H.A.U.C complies with prescribed accounting policies and procedures at all times.
