Disclosure/Conflict of Interest

The standard of MAPS is to recognize and address actual relevant Conflicts of Interest as well as perceptions of Conflicts of Interest between the interests of MAPS and personal, professional, and business interest of MAPS members, volunteers, board members, committee members and governing personnel, and those presenting at MAPS events. Conflict of Interest is defined as a situation in which a person or organization is involved in multiple interests, financial or otherwise, and serving one interest could involve working against another. Typically, this relates to situations in which the personal interest of an individual or organization might adversely affect a duty owed to make decisions for the benefit of the third party.

While it is understood that all real or perceived conflicts of interest are not necessarily prohibited or harmful to MAPS, faculty members are required to disclose all material information that may pose an actual or perceived conflict of interest. The MAPSLearning and Development Committee will determine if an actual relevant conflict of interest exists and recommend steps for remediation.
