SCI FOUNDATION POLICY REGARDING STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS

The staff is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the
The volunteers (i.e. officers and directors) of the corporation are responsible for setting SCI Foundation policy and long-term direction, establishing a budget, and hiring the CEO. The volunteers work through the Board, appointed committees and committee chairs, and President.
The Board has one staff person, and that person is the CEO. All other SCI Foundation staff and contractors work for the CEO. On matters of staff operation, administration of the budget or policy, personnel matters of any nature and on any matter that can be considered a staff function, staff works at and through the exclusive directions of the
The CEO is accountable and reports to the Board of Directors through the President and shall assume such responsibilities and perform such duties as may be assigned by the Board of Directors or through the President.
The President is responsible for managing the volunteer side of SCI Foundation
SCI Foundation Volunteers work “for” the membership and through the President and SCI Foundation staff work for and through the CEO. For matters of policy direction, personnel, financial administration and other matters of significance volunteers go through the President to staff and staff goes through the CEO to This route is not necessary for routine matters of implementing established work plans. When a request comes from a volunteer directly to a staff member, regardless of the volunteer’s position with SCI Foundation, staff members are to use good judgment in responding to the request. If the request is for simple assistance, coordination or other routine matters, the staff member should address the matter as appropriate. If the request is a directive or involves a significant matter involving considerable staff time, change in direction or work plan, or spending outside of the approved budget, then the staff member may ask the volunteer to go through the appropriate channels and through the CEO or the President.
If a staff person of SCI Foundation has a complaint or problem, he or she shall utilize the chain of command and voice the complaint or problem to his or her immediate supervisor. If the complaint involves the immediate supervisor, then the staff member shall voice the concern to the CEO. If the complaint alleges illegal or unlawful conduct by the CEO, the concern shall be addressed in writing to the President who may bring the matter to the attention of the Board.
No volunteer shall contact a member of the staff directly regarding a complaint or concern of the staff member unless and until the chain of command has been utilized and exhausted.
Problems managing volunteer actions or significant actions regarding volunteers are referred to the President for action.
Failure by a staff member to follow this complaint procedure may be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal, in accordance with the rules and regulations of SCI Foundation.
Failure by a volunteer to follow this complaint procedure may be grounds for sanctions in accordance with the bylaws, and removal from committee positions.

Safari Club International Foundation Declaration of Ethical Standards, Compliance with Fiduciary Duties and Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest

Having been elected or having accepted an appointment to serve as a director, an officer or as a committee member of Safari Club International Foundation. (“Safari Club International Foundation” or “SCI Foundation”) I do hereby declare:

2. Fiduciary Duties. I understand the fiduciary duties I owe to SCI Foundation as a director, officer, and/or committee member of SCI Foundation, including: a. the duty of loyalty that requires me to make decisions in a manner I reasonably believe to be in the best interests of SCI Foundation and not in my own personal interests, the interests of my business, or in the interests of some other organization;

b. the duty of care that requires me to make decisions exercising the care of an ordinarily prudent person in a like position under similar circumstances; and

c. the duty to always act in good faith.

3. Tax-Exempt Status. I understand that Safari Club International Foundation is a Nevada nonprofit corporation, exempt from tax as a Section 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

4. Non-disclosure of Confidential Information. I shall not disclose confidential information acquired during my service as a director, officer, or committee member of SCI Foundation. Furthermore, I will not engage in any business or activity where it is reasonably foreseeable that such disclosure might be required or induced. I understand that this duty of confidentiality is continuing and remains in effect after my service ends.

5. Harm or Prejudice to SCI Foundation.

The Board of Directors may grant exceptions in special circumstances, provided the exception is formally noted in the meeting minutes.

c. I will not represent myself as an official of SCI Foundation, or conduct its affairs, in a manner intended to further my own personal financial interests.
