Discussion Prompt: Conflict of Interest

Conflicts of interest in a nonprofit organization are not only illegal, but they can have substantial consequences for the organization. Read this article "Nonprofit Q&A: What is a nonprofit conflict of interest? How can a policy help?" and then write a discussion thread which discourses the following points:

• Share a time when you experienced or witnessed a conflict of interest in your workplace or in an organization.
• How was the conflict dealt with?
• Do you think the conflict was resolved appropriately? Why or why not?
  • If not, what would you have done differently?
