ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DUTY AS AN ASHI OFFICER OR DIRECTOR

May 1, 2011

Please sign and return with the Director Matrix form.

To: All prospective ASHI nominees to National officer positions and the Board of Directors

If elected as an officer or director, you are legally and ethically required to fulfill a number of duties and obligations. ASHI wants you to understand these duties and obligations in advance. We also request your signature at the bottom of this document to show your understanding and acceptance.

1. Duty of loyalty. An officer or director must not exploit ASHI’s opportunities or misuse inside information. A director or officer must account to ASHI for any profit received as a result of being a director or officer. A director or officer may not obtain a private or secret profit as a result of their official position. An officer or director has a duty to act in good faith for the best interests of the organization. Once the Board has voted, you will support all decisions regardless of personal viewpoint. Either actively support the action or be silent. If you are asked how you voted feel free to answer this question and express your views. You shall not publicly and actively campaign against a board decision.

2. Conflict of interest. A conflict of interest transaction is one in which an officer or director has a financial or direct personal interest in a matter being considered, or in a proposed contract or transaction in which ASHI may be a party. An officer or director should not vote upon a matter in which the individual has an adverse interest. The officer or director must fully disclose to the board any personal or financial interest they have in a matter being considered by the board before the board votes. After disclosure, the action may only be approved by a majority of disinterested directors.

3. Corporate opportunity. An ASHI officer or director is under a (fiduciary) duty not to use an ASHI business opportunity for his/her own personal gain. This is related to the concept of undivided loyalty to ASHI. Thus, an insider should not use their inside position to benefit themselves by seizing a business opportunity available to and suitable to ASHI. Additional restrictions are extended to situations in which the officer or director competes against ASHI.

4. Duty of care. A Director or officer must utilize reasonable skills in the exercise of their responsibilities. They must exercise the same care and skill which an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances in their own personal affairs. By accepting office, officers and directors undertake to give their best judgment to ASHI.

5. Confidentiality. In general, an officer or director should treat as confidential all matters involving ASHI until there has been public disclosure or unless the information is a matter of public record or common knowledge. The presumption of confidentiality should apply to all current information about legitimate board or ASHI activities.

A director or officer shall discharge their duties (1) in good faith; (2) with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances; and (3) in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interest of ASHI.

I hereby understand and agree to abide by the above if I am elected as an officer or board director of ASHI.
