Board Policies

The president may not permit the Board to be inadequately informed.  Accordingly, the president may not do the following: 

1. Neglect to submit monitoring reports and other key data in a timely, accurate, and understandable fashion, directly addressing provisions to the Board policies being monitored. 
2. Let the Board be unaware of relevant trends, anticipated adverse media coverage, actual or anticipated legal actions, or material external and internal changes, particularly changes in the assumptions upon which any Board policy has previously been established. 
3. Fail to advise the Board, if in the president’s opinion, the Board is not in compliance with its own policies on Governance Process and Board-Staff Relationships, particularly in the case of Board behavior which is detrimental to the working relationship between the Board and the president. 
4. Present information in unnecessarily complex or lengthy form or that is knowingly inaccurate or incomplete.
5. Fail to provide a mechanism for official Board communication.
6. Fail to deal with the Board as a whole, except when fulfilling individual requests for information.
