No. 1 ("Fire Company") is a nonprofit organization that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Louisiana on March 15, 1949, to provide fire protection and related services in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana in an area comprising part of Jefferson Parish Fire Protection District No. 7 (a separate entity).

Facts Provided
The Fire Company employs a full-time paid administrator who also serves as the volunteer fire chief. The Board of Directors would like to change the job title of the administrator position from "Administrator" to "Fire Chief" without changing the position's job duties or the person currently employed in that position. Mr. Girard asks if the Fire Company's Board of Directors can do this without violating the Ethics Code.
