Do you hold any active professional licenses, certifications, or registrations that could create external obligations?
Disclosure of external business interests is critical for identifying situations where divided loyalties may impair objective decision-making. This includes any activity that could reasonably be expected to influence, or be influenced by, your fiduciary duties. Materiality is not limited to financial gain alone; strategic relationships, reputational factors, and access to information must also be considered.
Are you currently employed by or providing services to any organization outside of your primary fiduciary role?
Do you hold any board directorship positions at other for-profit entities?
Do you serve on any non-profit, civic, or advisory boards?
Do you have any active consulting, advisory, or independent contractor arrangements?

This section captures financial entanglements with the organization itself, its subsidiaries, key business partners, and entities where family members have material interests. Full transparency is required regardless of transaction size, as patterns of small transactions may indicate systemic conflicts. Include holdings in competitors, suppliers, customers, and any entity that could influence corporate strategy.

Have you or any family member engaged in any real estate transactions (purchase, sale, lease) with the organization or its affiliates in the past 24 months?
Do you or any family member have any intellectual property licensing, royalty, or technology transfer agreements with the organization?
Have you received any gifts, entertainment, travel, or hospitality from suppliers, customers, or partners exceeding $100 USD in aggregate value per source in the past 12 months?
Are you or any family member a party to any personal loans, credit arrangements, or financial guarantees provided by or to the organization or its executives?
Do you or any family member hold any cryptocurrency, digital assets, or blockchain-based investments that could present undisclosed risks or conflicts?

Proactive identification of situations requiring recusal demonstrates commitment to fiduciary duty over personal interest.
Are you currently subject to any active recusal obligations from specific board or committee deliberations?
Have you established any formal information barriers or ethical walls to prevent inappropriate information flow between your external interests and fiduciary duties?
