              to the topic of the educational activity

         Why does this matter?
         Financial relationship with a commercial interest creates the 
            opportunity for the individual to “slant” the activity toward the 
            products / services of that commercial interest
         The individual has the ability to accrue financial gain from any 
            additional business acquired by the commercial interest
         These factors unfairly jeopardize the educational experience for 
            the learner
