Fiduciary Duties of Officers and Directors
Fiduciary duties are bundled into three, sometimes four, different specific responsibilities.
Duty of Care
An officer or director’s duty of care is found in their duty to exercise sound business judgment. They use consideration when making decisions for the non-profit.
Exercising proper duty of care looks like prudently considering business options and making a reasonable decision, based on the information, in a good faith act.
The standard for the duty of care is based on what a person “in a like position would reasonably do under similar circumstances.”
Duty of Loyalty
This duty exemplifies the selflessness that defines a fiduciary duty. The duty of loyalty commands a director to always act responsibly for the corporation and always act in the corporation’s best interests rather than oneself. The duty of loyalty is expected when making decisions and when refraining or excluding oneself from making business decisions.
Duty to Act Lawfully
This duty is self-explanatory. Expected to act per the law is part of an officer’s fiduciary duties. Reasonably, one would not merit trust from the corporations members if an officer did not follow the law when making business decisions.
Duty to Act With/In Good Faith
This duty is not always recognized explicitly because it can be inherent to the first duty. This duty, as mentioned previously, represents an officer or director’s genuine belief and trust that his decision for the business will be beneficial to the organization.
As a fiduciary, the rule of thumb is to always act in your client’s best interests or the corporation and member’s best interests.
