Trustee Tip of the Month: Every library is required to have a conflict-of-interest policy that complies with the New York State Non-profit Revitalization Act of 2013. If your current conflict of interest policy pre-dates 2014, there is a good chance it is not in compliance with this law. To learn more about this law check out this page from the New York State Library’s website. For a sample policy that is in compliance, check out the Mid-Hudson Library System’s sample policy found here.
Trustee responsibilities are small in number but broad in scope. This monthly Bulletin feature is designed to remind, reinforce or introduce tips that are helpful to member library trustees.
