Duties of Directors of Non-Profit Corporations
Directors are subject to two primary obligations which are:
- a duty of care
- a duty of loyalty
The duty of care and the duty of loyalty are the common terms for the standards that guide all actions that a director of a non-profit corporation takes. The standards are not dissimilar from those applied to directors of business corporations.
The Duty of Care:
The duty of care requires a director to act in a reasonable and informed manner when participating in the Board's decisions and in its oversight of management. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith. Elements of the duty of care:
- attend meetings/participate
- be informed
- exercise independent judgment
- rely on others only when appropriate
The Duty of Loyalty:
The duty of loyalty requires a director to act in the best interests of the corporation, rather than in the director's own interest or the interest of another organization or person. A director should not use a corporate position for individual advantage. Elements of the duty of loyalty:
- avoid conflicts of interest
- do not seize corporate opportunities
- maintain confidentiality
