[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, she didn't have to declare her conflict at the AGM?  Interesting.  Thank you for enlightening us.    So let's just say that a vote is proposed and seconded  to fire the Travel Soccer TD, would she have to recuse herself?  [/quote]

Interesting question. The board should have a conflict of interest policy each Director has signed governing this. Without much context I would say it would definitely be a conflict of interest. [/quote]

The point is valid. Board Members should not be paid/ employed by the Club they are governing.  It is a conflict of interest and yes, these discrepancies could lead to loss of tax exempt status by the county for a non-profit.  So, if a paid Coach is elected to the Board, they can't be a paid Coach's anymore as that is a conflict of interest.  Board Members drive policy regarding pay (among many things), it compromises integrity, there is a ripple effect and impacts other staff members and its bad look.  (An example of an exception to this if it a new non-profit or the President of the Non Profit is also on the Board as someone who stood up the board.)  Neither of those cases applies in this scenario.  This is not a best practice.

Non compliance by a nonprofit would be subject oversight from the State Attorney General's Office and or the IRS.  Elected Board members of a nonprofit should not take their duties lightly as their success helps to ensure/ protect the nonprofits legal status.

So, they may have to re-compete that position and hold another vote or open themselves up to become subject to further scrutiny.
