All AMIA leaders are obligated to make decisions and conduct affairs of the organization based primarily upon the desire to promote AMIA and its mission. The term “leaders” is used in this policy to refer to three groups:
- AMIA employees;
- members of the Board of Directors; committee, council, and forum chairs; task force chairs; and general committee members when their particular committees are empowered or charged with making AMIA policy or ethics recommendations (such individuals are also referred to as “agents”); and
- committee members (excluding committees’ members considered agents), representatives to other organizations, elected Academic Forum officials, and working group chairs.
Leaders of an organization such as AMIA have a duty to make decisions that benefit the organization and not their personal interests. Recognizing, disclosing, and managing conflicts of interest is an important aspect of this duty. Disclosures must be completed at least annually and each time relationships and/or service roles change.
