CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE QUESTIONS

In order for the IGCS to further the purposes for which it was organized and maintain its excellent reputation, it is important that Society decisions and actions not be influenced unduly by any special interests of individual members. The Society depends upon the Council to shape its policies, and the actions of those members must not be inappropriately affected by outside influences. Therefore, it continues to be important to identify actual or potential conflicts of interest which might improperly affect Society activities and decisions.

We ask that you complete the following and disclose any potential conflicts you may have. It is the responsibility of the Nominating Committee to review potential conflicts and take them into consideration while compiling the slate. Potential conflicts may not hinder your chances of being selected, but it is important that the Nominating Committee be made aware of them.

3. FINANCIAL INTERESTS; KEY POSITIONS: List and describe with respect to you and any member of your immediate family financial interests held in any health-related business concern, defined as a for-profit entity that produces, markets or distributes drugs, devices or services used by members of the Society in the treatment of patients, and/or a position as officer, director, managing partner or key employee of a health-related business concern. Please identify the range of the financial interests, e.g., $0 to $10,000; $10,000 to $50,000; $50,000 to $100,000; greater than $100,000.
