• Board members may not present their views as representative of those of the RFC, Inc. Board of Governors where this is not, in fact.

• While serving as a Board member, one may not present one-self or one’s views in such a way wherein it could be inferred that these views represent those of the Board of Governors. A board member who publicly opposes a board position must clarify that he/she is doing so as a private citizen and not on behalf of the board.

• Board members may not usurp the authority, position, or responsibility of any individual on or any committee of the Board of Governors.

• Board members will not undermine Board determinations. Important decisions are typically made via a board vote, with each issue being discussed and every member present having one vote. It is inappropriate to work against a Board decision because one disagrees with the outcome.

More details about the board can be found in the bylaws.
