As a board we have three duties to our organization. The Duty of Care, the Duty of Loyalty, and the Duty of Obedience.
Duty of Care -- Directors should demonstrate competence in performing their directorial functions. The duty of care includes acting in good faith; reading agenda materials and being prepared for meetings; participating in meetings and asking questions; and exercising independent judgement as opposed to blindly following the lead of colleagues.
Duty of Loyalty -- Directors must faithfully pursue the interests of the organization. The interests should be prioritized above all personal interests. Directors may not use their service on the board, including information that is made available to them, to secure personal interests. Full disclosure is required, as is abstinence from conflicting discussion and decision. This duty also calls for directors to maintain confidentiality of all board discussions.
Duty of Obedience -- Directors should faithfully pursue the organization's mission and decisions within the bounds of the law. Directors must adhere to the organization's policies and procedures. Even if a Directors disagrees, they must support and help implement decisions made by the board as a whole.
