VIEW VIDEO: The Board Fiduciary Duty of Obedience
This is the third session in our 3-part Board Fiduciary Duties Series. We hope this will support you as a board leader in helping the organizations you serve to thrive.
Folks who are new to board service, or even folks who have been serving for decades, often wonder exactly what their job as a board member is.
It’s pretty simple, really. In this three-part series, we’ll cover the three fiduciary duties of nonprofit board members:
- Duty of Care
- Duty of Loyalty
- Duty of Obedience
Today, we’ll look at Duty of Obedience.
Duty of obedience requires board members to act in compliance with the organization’s governing documents, rules, and the law. These include bylaws, articles of incorporation, policies, other governing documents and any related laws.
Basically, duty of obedience requires board members to follow the rules.
