Description

Board members have limits on how they can share information and with whom they may share it. Maintaining confidentiality means that board members must maintain the confidentiality of any personal or sensitive information they acquire during their service to the board. Board members are in a fiduciary relationship with the corporation. This means that they are obliged to act honestly and in good faith in respect of the corporation. The obligation has many components, including a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and a duty to avoid abusing their position to gain personal benefit. One component of board members' fiduciary obligation is a duty to maintain the confidentiality of information that they acquire by virtue of their position.
