Danhoffman Posted August 9, 2017 at 01:38 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 at 01:38 AM I belong to a church that uses Robert's Rules to run our meetings. Recently we had a discussion on the board and then one of the board members "leaked" one of the documents that had been brought to the floor to several members of the church who are not pin the board. I'm wondering whether RR has a fiduciary duty clause, or whether outside of an "in camera meeting" anything discussed on the board could be shared with a member of the church who is not a board member. Any help you could give on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Brown Posted August 9, 2017 at 03:12 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 at 03:12 AM RONR contains no rules or guidance on secrecy other than for meetings conducted in executive session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you could read Chapter XX of RONR, after checking the By-laws of the church, to discipline the member who discussed th issue outside the meeting.

Well it does mandate that disciplinary actions be conducted in executive session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
