Conflict of Interest

Affirmation of Compliance

I have received and carefully read the Conflict of Interest Policy for board members and staff with significant decision making authority of Morrisville Public Library and have considered not only the literal expression of the policy, but also its intent. By signing this affirmation of compliance, I hereby affirm that I understand and agree to comply with the Conflict of Interest Policy. I further understand that Morrisville Public Library is a nonprofit organization and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities that accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes without personal inurement (other than by salary) by Board members or employees.

Except as otherwise indicated in the Disclosure Questionnaire, I hereby state that I do not have any conflict of interest, financial or otherwise that may be seen as competing with the interests of Morrisville Public Library, nor does any relative or associate have such a potential conflict of interest. Nor shall I, any relative or associate, benefit from any action, policy or transaction made by Morrisville Public Library in a manner that has not been previously disclosed.

If any situation should arise in the future that I think may involve me in a conflict of interest, I will promptly and fully disclose in writing the circumstances to the President of the Board of Trustees of Morrisville Public Library or to the Director, as applicable.

I further certify that the information set forth in the Disclosure Statement and attachments, if any, is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.
