The creation of "Financial Conflict of Interest Statements" for all board and staff members was prompted by this duty.  Finally, a Duty of Obedience requires that a board member act consistently with the organization's mission and goals.  The board engages legal counsel to assist in identifying legal liabilities and risks for the organization.
