On April 23, 2026, the Board of Directors of Calvary Road Ministries (CRM) adopted this Board Member Code of Conduct to which each Board member agrees to adhere as evidenced by his or her signature below:
No CRM Board member may derive any personal profit or gain, directly or indirectly, because of his or her service on the Board. CRM Board members will conduct their personal affairs in such a manner as to avoid any possible conflict of interest with their duties and responsibilities as a Board member. Nevertheless, conflicts may arise from time to time.
A. When there is a decision to be made or an action to be approved that will result in a conflict between the best interests of CRM and the Board member’s personal interests, the Board member must immediately disclose the conflict of interest so that the Board’s decision making will be informed about the conflict.
B. It is every Board member’s obligation to ensure that Board decisions reflect independent thinking. Consequently, if any Board member receives compensation from CRM, such compensation will be determined by and approved by the full Board.
C. It is every Board member’s obligation to ensure that Board decisions reflect independent thinking. Consequently, if any Board member receives compensation from CRM, such compensation will be determined by and approved by the full Board.
D. Any Board Member having a conflict of interest will not vote or use his or her personal influence to address the matter, and he or she will not be counted in determining the quorum for the meeting.
E. All conflicts disclosed to the Board will be made a matter of record in the minutes of the Board meeting in which the disclosure was made, which will also note that the Board member with a conflict abstained from the vote, was not present for any discussion, and was not included in the count for the quorum for that meeting.
F. The procedures set forth in this Code of Conduct and CRM’s Conflict of Interest Policy for disclosing and managing conflicts of interest also apply to any Board member’s immediate family or any person acting on his or her behalf.
CRM strives to maintain an organization that is free from illegal discrimination and harassment. While all forms of harassment are prohibited, it is CRM’s policy to emphasize that sexual harassment is specifically prohibited. Any Board member who engages in discriminatory or harassing conduct at any Board meeting or CRM affiliated mission trip, event, or activity is subject to removal from the Board. Complaints alleging misconduct by a Board member will be investigated promptly and as confidentially as possible by a task force of the Board appointed by the Executive Committee.
Board members are reminded that confidential financial, personal, and other matters concerning the organization and/or donors may be included in Board materials or discussed from time to time. Board members should not disclose such confidential information to anyone.
IV. Active Participation
CRM Board members are expected to exercise the duties and responsibilities of their position with integrity, enthusiasm, collegiality, and care, including, without limitation:
A. Making attendance at all Board meetings a high priority.
B. Being prepared to discuss the issues and business on the agenda, having read all background material relevant to the topics at hand.
C. Cooperating with and respecting the opinions of fellow Board members, leaving personal prejudices out of all Board discussions, and supporting all Board actions even when the Board member personally did not support the action taken.
D. Always representing CRM in a positive and supportive manner.
E. Showing respect and courteous conduct in all Board and Committee meetings.
F. Taking on assignments made from time to time by the Board Chair and/or President.
G. Supporting CRM financially consistent with his or her personal financial means.
