Board members must be loyal to the interest of the membership over and above any personal interest.
Board members are trustees of public confidence and securities. They must avoid any conflict of interest.

Individual Board Members do not have any authority to speak for the Society when they interact with the public, the press and other entities unless granted this authority by the whole board.
