As outlined in the Conflict of Interest Policy, employees, officers, volunteers, representatives and members of the Executive Board ("members") must pay special attention to issues of potential bias in order to maintain the integrity of, and public confidence in, NAPNAP. To ensure that the association monitors issues of professional integrity, disclosure of actual or potential conflicts of interest is required of all members on an annual basis.  

Members should disclose interests that could: i) significantly impair their objectivity in carrying out duties and responsibilities for NAPNAP, or ii) create an unfair advantage for them or any person or organization that could result in their securing a direct and material gain through  any of NAPNAP’s products or services. For the purposes of this policy, any activities that could lead a reasonable person to question a member’s objectivity, or whether an unfair advantage has been created, constitutes a potential conflict of interest and should be disclosed in this form.

Members must also disclose any relevant interests of parties with whom they have current contractual relationships or substantial common interests that could be perceived as unduly influencing, or potentially unduly influencing, their judgment (for example, their employer, close professional associates, consultancies, publication agreements, or advisory or funding relationships).
