LOUISIANA STATE BAR ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF GOVERNORS

Conflict of Interest Policy

The Duty of Loyalty requires members of the Board of Governors to exercise their powers in the
interest of the organization, and not in their own interest or in the interest of another entity or
person. Any duality on the part of any member of the Board shall be disclosed to the Board and
made a matter of record through an annual procedure, and also in the event such interest should
become a matter for Board action.

Any Board member having a conflict of interest as determined by the Board shall not vote or use
his/her personal influence on the matter and he/she shall not be counted in determining the quorum
for the issue in question. The minutes of the meeting shall reflect: that a disclosure was made; the
abstention from voting if applicable; and the quorum situation.

No Board member shall maintain any business, enterprise or other activity that directly conflicts
with the interests of the Association.
