2.6. Communication and Support to the Board

With respect to providing information and support to the board, the  Executive Director may not intentionally cause or allow the board to be uninformed or misinformed:

1. The Executive Director will not:

1. Let the board be unaware of relevant trends, public events of the organization, adverse media coverage, material external and internal changes, and changes in the assumptions upon which any board policy has previously been established.   
   
2. Present information or advice to the Board that lacks timeliness, completeness, or accuracy or fail to acquaint the Board with points of view, issues, or options of which the Executive Director is aware that are pertinent to fully informed Board decision making.  
   
3. Neglect to submit monitoring data required by the board in a timely, accurate and understandable fashion, directly addressing provisions of board policies being monitored.
4. Fail to advise the board if, in the Executive Director’s opinion, the board is not in compliance with its own policies on Governance Process and Board-Executive Director linkage, particularly in the case of board behavior that is detrimental to the work relationship between the board and the Executive Director.
5. Fail to deal with the board as a whole except when fulfilling individual requests for information or responding to officers or committees duly charged by the board.
