Board standards

Relationships do not replace fiduciary duties.

Directors are expected to support the charitable mission, exercise independent judgment, protect confidential information, disclose material conflicts, participate in meetings and comply with governance policies. Family or personal relationships do not eliminate disclosure, recusal or disinterested-review expectations.

Historical formation records and any corrections or amendments should be disclosed through the Foundation’s Document Center rather than silently altered.

How the Board is intended to work

The adopted Bylaws, available in the Document Center, set out how directors meet, vote, keep records and handle conflicts. Electronic meetings, notices, signatures and approvals may be used where legally permitted. The Board adopted the Banking, Credit, Payment, Treasury, and Financial Services Resolution unanimously on October 1, 2026.

Family relationships and independence

Several directors share family names, and the Foundation says so openly. Family or personal relationships do not remove the duty to disclose conflicts, step aside from related decisions or allow disinterested review. The conflict-of-interest rules in the Bylaws apply to every director and officer equally.

Changes to leadership

If directors or officers change, this page is intended to be updated and the change noted on the Transparency page. Historical formation records will be kept rather than silently altered. Questions about the Board or governance can be sent to nonprofit@mrblindbandit.net.
