Volunteer with CCO

Statement of Confidentiality, Copyrights, Impartiality, and Conflicts of Interest

As a volunteer serving on a CCO committee, task force, or commission, I understand that I may have access to confidential and proprietary information, including but not limited to exam content, item banks, scoring criteria, candidate data, and internal deliberations.

I agree to maintain the confidentiality of all such information both during and after my term of service, and not to disclose, reproduce, or use it for any purpose outside my official CCO duties.

I acknowledge that all exam content, materials, and related work product created in connection with my volunteer service are the sole property of CCO, and I assign any copyright interest in such work product to CCO.

I agree to act with impartiality in all committee, task force, and commission activities, setting aside personal, financial, or organizational interests that could compromise the integrity of CCO's certification programs.

I will disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest — financial, professional, or personal — that could reasonably be seen to affect my objectivity, and will recuse myself from related discussions or decisions as appropriate.

By checking the box below, I confirm that I have read this Statement in its entirety and agree to be bound by its terms for the duration of my volunteer service with CCO. (End of statement.)
