Conflict of Interest Info

The Conflict of Interest acknowledgment process has changed as of 1/1/23. 

The MA State Ethics Division is now keeping all the Conflict Of Interest records/certificates for municipal employees/committee members, and will contact those individuals who do not comply with the State Law.

All municipal employees/committee members/volunteers must now REGISTER ONLINE with the State in order to complete the Conflict Of Interest (COI) requirements.
The link to register is:  https://massethicstraining.skillburst.com/ 

Once you have registered with the State (you may use any email address you wish to register), you must complete the following:
(1) The Conflict of Interest Summary-- MUST be acknowledged every year
(2) The online training-- MUST be completed every other year. (You do NOT need to print out the certificate when you have completed this module)
(3) Initial, sign and return this acknowledgement form to the Town Clerk's Office either in person or via email (clerk@fairhaven-ma.gov).

Also: below are links to the Acknowledgement Receipt Form, Summary of the Conflict of Interest Law for Municipal Employees, Open Meeting Law guide, and the Boards and Committees handbook, if applicable to you:
