HDSA Conflict of Interest Policy

Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization. Maintenance of its tax-exempt status is important both for its continued financial stability and for public support. Therefore, the IRS as well as state regulatory and tax officials view the operation of HDSA as a public trust, which is subject to scrutiny by and accountable to such governmental authorities as well as to members of the public.

Consequently, there exists between HDSA and its board, officers, and management employees and the public a fiduciary duty, which carries with it a broad and unbending duty of loyalty and fidelity. The board, officers, and management employees have the responsibility of administering the affairs of HDSA honestly and prudently, and of exercising their best care, skill, and judgment for the sole benefit of HDSA. Those persons shall exercise the utmost good faith in all transactions involved in their duties, and they shall not use their position with HDSA or knowledge gained there from for their personal benefit. The interests of the organization must be the first priority in all decisions and actions.
