Some restrictions lifted for Federal Service employees working in leadership roles
-
Effective April 5, 2013, a new regulation issued by the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) removes the conflict of interest barrier previously codified in 18 U.S.C Sec. 208 for Federal employees to serve in an official capacity of behalf of the federal government as an officer or member of a board of directors of a non-Federal, nonprofit organization. Under previous OGE regulations and related interpretations in effect since 1996, federal employees have been permitted to serve as officers of nonprofit boards in their personal capacity or in a liaison capacity, not in a professional capacity. Waivers were available that would allow service in a professional capacity, under limited circumstances.
Read the official regulation.
