Feds to have freedom for nonprofit service -- GovExec.com

Feds to have freedom for nonprofit service -- GovExec.com: "Federal employees soon will be allowed to serve in their official capacities in nonprofit organizations.

Tuesday marked the end of a comment period on a proposed rule from the Office of Government Ethics that would lift a 15-year prohibition on federal workers acting as officers or directors in the nonprofit sector. Previously, unless granted a special waiver, government employees were barred from officially serving in any capacity involving fiduciary responsibilities that could conflict with their obligation to their agency."
