Common use of Ethical Commitments Clause in Contracts

Ethical Commitments. The Executive Director shall not endorse candidates, make financial contributions, sign or circulated petitions, or knowingly participate in fundraising activities for individuals seeking or holding elected office in the NMCRA, nor seek or accept any persona enrichment or profit derived from confidential information, or holding office, or misuse of public time. The NMCRA shall support the Executive Director in keeping these commitments by refraining from any order, direction or request that would require the Executive Director to undertake any of the aforementioned activities. Specifically, neither the NMCRA Board nor any individual member thereof shall request the Executive Director to endorse any candidate, make any financial contribution, sign or circulate any petition, or participate in any fundraising activities for individuals seeking or holding elected office, nor to handle any matter involving personnel on a basis other than fairness, impartiality, and merit. The Executive Director voluntarily agrees to this and shall not cause provision to formulate any claim against the NMCRA whatsoever. The Executive Director acknowledges the above is in no way a restriction of his freedom of speech, and if so claimed is deemed immediately invalid.
