Confidentiality and Conflicts of Interest

All members of the Governance & Nominating Committee will be required to sign the International ACAC Confidentiality Agreement and Conflict of Interest Statement. All discussions held as part of the GNC are to be kept confidential until official information is shared by the association. All GNC members are expected to make decisions in the best interest of International ACAC and remain neutral and objective when reviewing the slate of candidates for the Executive Board. While having a conflict of interest is not automatically disqualifying, it may require an individual to recuse themselves from certain discussions or votes. If selected for the Governance and Nominating Committee for 2026-2027, you will be unable to run for any position on the Executive Board and/or Regional Council until your term on the committee expires.

By signing my initials, I confirm that I understand the importance of confidentiality and reporting any conflicts of interest honestly and completely, should I be selected for the Governance & Nominating Committee. I also understand I will be unable to run for any position on the Executive Board and/or Regional Council until my term expires.
