We're trying to put together a letter of agreement for Directors & Committee Members that they must read and sign. If anyone has a good template for this, please let me know. The reason for this stems from a recent incident where one of our contractors gave a committee member a gift that was in excess of $100. We would like to address Gifts, Business Ethics, Conflict of Interests, Limited Authority, procedures for handling or processing monies and receipts, binding agreements etc., just so everyone is on the same page. Apparently, not everyone has good common sense, so you have to spell it out. If anyone has any experience with this type of problem and/or does anyone have such an agreement already drafted?

Many many organizations and companies have a document called "Code of Conduct" which employees must read and sign.

You could probably google that and find a ton of samples.

The address above is to the Canadian Condominium Institute. Is this something like what you are looking for?

In Florida there are civil penalties for accepting anything of value over $100. built into the statutes. I'd assume other states do as well.

Thanks Paul and Michelle - You would think that you would not have to go to this measure, but some folks don't have any common sense.

Actually, I am in Florida myself, but was looking for something similar and someone directed me to that website. I am way new at this, so I google a lot.
