Hi, I'm an employee of AAAS, the American Association for the Advancement of Science. I'm a webmaster and a former Biology grad student.
I'm a strong believer in neutral and unbiased entries on Wikipedia. However, I also believe that there are many entries that will not be updated or improved without action by the page's subject. I believe the solution is very careful action: that if an employee of the entry's subject updates the page, they should make atomic edits, and those edits should (obviously) be carefully written to be unbiased and well-sourced.
In my employer's case, this is usually an update to the identities of board members that change each year.
Since I've seen the Conflict of Interest policy misued, I feel it necessary to point out that you are not banned from editing your employer's page. You're merely strongly discouraged from doing so. That's why I don't edit it for fun.
That all sounds very argumentative and possibly challenging, but in fact it's very simple. For me, "advancing outside interests" is never "more important to [me] than advancing the aims of Wikipedia." I'm only interested in updating the page.
Finally, I find it very amusing that the COI policy encourages you to declare your interest, even though you are not allowed to do so within your username. When my original name described me as an employee of AAAS, the reaction was quite strong.
According to my past edits, I appear to highly favor the proper use of punctuation and correct forms of words. Yeesh, how boring.
