Conflict of Interest Statement

The NCBJ Board of Governors adopted a Conflict of Interest Statement on August 14, 2024. The purpose of this conflict of interest policy is to protect the interests of the National Association of Bankruptcy Judges (the “NCBJ”) when it is contemplating entering into a financial transaction or arrangement where (i) the Financial Interest (as defined below) of an officer, director, committee member, NCBJ executive director or his or her staff could diverge from the interests of the NCBJ; or (ii) the impartiality of the decisions of the NCBJ could otherwise reasonably be called into question. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to nonprofit organizations and charitable organizations. This policy is not intended to be exhaustive, and any NCBJ officer, director, committee member, executive director, or staff member contemplating a financial transaction or arrangement who has reasons to believe that the interests of the NCBJ could be adversely impacted because of the personal interest of that person should bring the matter to the attention of the NCBJ President or chair of the applicable committee (who in turn shall promptly inform the NCBJ President).
