The AMPLIFY Board and its members are committed to ensuring AMPLIFY remains impartial and politically neutral.
Where board members have an alignment or relationship with a political organisation, this will be declared and made transparent to the community.
Our board members hold a variety of opinions and positions on a wide range of issues and may contribute to public and AMPLIFY debates. It should be assumed that an AMPLIFY board member is speaking in a personal capacity unless they are explicitly advocating or speaking on behalf of the AMPLIFY community. In line with our mission, AMPLIFY supports robust public conversations and welcomes this contest of ideas.
Conflicts of interest
The AMPLIFY Board is committed to effectively identifying, disclosing and managing any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest in order to protect the integrity of AMPLIFY.
It is the policy of Amplify, as well as a responsibility of the board, that ethical, legal, financial or other conflicts of interest be avoided and that any such conflicts (where they do arise) do not conflict with the obligations to AMPLIFY.
AMPLIFY manages conflicts of interest by requiring board members to:
- avoid conflicts of interest where possible
- identify and disclose any conflicts of interest, and
- carefully manage any conflicts of interest.
AMPLIFY is a registered charity and Board members must:
- Act with reasonable care and diligence.
- Act in good faith in the best interests of Amplify and for a proper purpose.
- Not improperly use information or position.
- Disclose conflicts of interest.
- Ensure that financial affairs are managed responsibly.
- Not allow Amplify to operate while insolvent.
