“Reasonable Interpretation” indicates being reasonable in the eyes of a majority of the Board. “Policies Established by the Board” refers to governance policies.

CommunityIMPACT, Inc. Foundational Statements / Ends guide and inform all governance and operational policies. Operational policies (which the Board does not review nor approve), are available upon a formal request by the Board of Directors.
- Fail to take prompt and appropriate action when the Executive Director becomes aware of any violation or potential violation of any laws, rules, or regulations, or of any possible breach of Board policies;

“Prompt and Appropriate” relate to the nature of the violation of operational and governance policies.
“Potential Violations” will require immediate action to interrupt the progression of events/actions leading to a violation.

The Executive Director will immediately report violations of governance policy to the CGO. The CGO will decide on the appropriate action to be taken related to governance policy.

Board Members or staff who hear what they believe to be inaccurate or inappropriate statements by the Executive Director shall report them, in writing, to the CGO. Sufficient context including place, time, persons present, and situation, shall be given in the report. The CGO will promptly address the matter with the Executive Director.
