(2) OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF ACEC SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION BEFORE ENTERING INTO FINANCIAL OR LEGAL ARRANGEMENTS THAT COULD PREJUDICE OR BIAS THEIR CONDUCT OR VIEWS IN ISSUES RELATED TO ACEC. IF SUCH ARRANGEMENTS EXIST OR ARE PERCEIVED TO EXIST, THAT INDIVIDUAL SHOULD DISCLOSE THESE ARRANGEMENTS.

(3) INDIVIDUALS OR MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES PREPARING OFFICIAL STATEMENTS FOR ACEC SHOULD DISCLOSE FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS OR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS THAT INTERFERE, OR COULD INTERFERE, WITH THE TASK. THIS POLICY IS DIRECTED PRINCIPALLY AT OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF ACEC, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND GROUPS WORKING ON BEHALF OF ACEC, MEMBERS WHO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ACEC, AND ALL STAFF OF ACEC.
