Acknowledgement of Conflict of Interest - EXHIBIT K-4
Any IEA member seeking election to an IEA office, either an executive position or member of
the IEA Board of Directors, shall consider whether they would, if elected, have a conflict
between the fiduciary obligations and best interest of the IEA and the other interest. (See IEA
Board policy, pg. C-11, “Conflict of Interest”.) For clarification as to whether a conflict exists,
said possible nominee shall seek consultation with the Ethics and Oversight Committee of the
IEA Board of Directors which shall make determination as to whether a conflict exists and
suggest a potential resolution to the conflict, if any. Should a conflict exist, and the member is
elected, the member agrees to no later than 15 days from the close of the election, resolve the
conflict. Should the newly elected member fail to resolve the conflict within 15 days from the
close of the election, the newly elected member shall be removed from the elected IEA
position. (22, 24)
