An association should have a board of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately perform its responsibilities and duties. Like most non-profit organizations, USBC relies heavily on the thousands of volunteers who help to keep its associations running each year. Loosely defined, volunteers are people who give freely of their time, talents and resources without putting limitations on what they are willing to do to support the goals and objectives of the organization.
It is extremely important that association board members understand their responsibilities and be willing to do whatever necessary to get the job done. Specific duties for each member of the board are spelled out in the USBC Bylaws and Association Policy Manual. However, the board as a whole is responsible for overseeing all aspects of running the association, including all financial responsibilities.
Although the bylaws state “Directors, officers and other authorized volunteers, employees or agents shall be indemnified against claims for personal and individual liability arising in connection with their positions or service on behalf of the association to the full extent permitted by law,” it doesn’t eliminate them from all personal responsibility.
If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) performs an audit and determines money is due, each member of the board can be held legally responsible. Therefore, it is extremely important that board members practice the Duty of Care, Duty of Loyalty and Duty of Obedience, as outlined in The Legal Obligations of Nonprofit Boards: A Guidebook for Board Members, published by the National Center for Nonprofit Boards, and in the United States non-profit laws:
Duty of Care
This duty is very broad, requiring officers and directors to exercise ordinary and reasonable care in the performance of their duties, exhibiting honesty and good faith. Officers and directors must act in a manner which they believe to be in the best interests of the association, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. This is generally referred to as the “business judgment rule.”
Duty of Loyalty
This is a duty of faithfulness to the association. The fundamental duty of loyalty owed by a board member is the duty to give undivided allegiance to the association when making decisions affecting the association.
In practice, this means that the board member can never use information obtained for personal gain. The board member is only permitted to act in the interests of the association.
Duty of Obedience
This duty requires officers and directors to act in accordance with the association’s mission, articles of incorporation, bylaws and other governing documents, as well as all applicable laws and regulations. Although board members may exercise their own reasonable judgment concerning how the association should best meet its mission, they are not permitted to act in a way that is inconsistent with the goals of the association.
