Yes but i own a self propritrory business which i started long before i joined the organisation even sent me this does it still apply to me?
It seems like your company policy requires prior approval for serving as a director or officer in another organization. However, since you already own a sole proprietorship from before joining, it might be a unique situation.
Here's what you can consider:
- Check the wording: Look at the exact wording of the policy to see if it explicitly mentions pre-existing businesses.
- Seek approval: To be safe, you might want to seek approval from your company's Chief Executive Officer or their designee.
Would you like assistance on how to formally seek this approval?
