This disclosure seems too long to me (e.g. talking about EAG speeches?), perhaps because it is doubling up as both a barb and a suggestion. Here’s my suggestion:
“Disclosure: I am CEO of the Center of Effective Altruism, which is funded by the donations of effective altruists, including donors who earn to give.”
Disclosure: I have done paid consulting for CEA, and have interacted with it from its founding (and with Will from before that).
[ETA: as you say, one could also link to a longer conflicts of interest page, but one needs something in the post since most won’t follow the link, and that can’t be too long.]
I see your point about long disclosures being cumbersome. I believe a better solution is to have a canonical long disclosure and simply to link to it with a brief description. I just added a canonical long disclosure about my relationship with GiveWell at http://vipulnaik.com/givewell/ and I have edited my two recent EAF posts about them to include a disclosure link to that. I will try to do the same for any further posts or comments I write about GiveWell, and write similar canonical long disclosures to link to for topics that I frequently write about and have had long, complicated associations with.

Did you mean “blurb” instead of “barb”?
No.
As in you’re criticizing the lack of a disclosure at the same time as providing information.
