Board Member Responsibilities

The Board of Directors and the Executive Director, in collaboration, define the issues, think creatively of opportunities, and address challenges that exist for DICO, to enable every interested child in Colorado to participate in DI.

Most fundamentally, each Director has a duty of honesty, a duty of loyalty and a duty of care. Board training is advised for a more thorough understanding of these principles. Put briefly:

• Duty of Care: Be fully informed and prepared to act effectively.
• Duty of Loyalty: Put the interests of the organization first. The Board speaks with one voice (support decisions made by the Board).
• Duty of Honesty: Act in accordance with the bylaws, policies, and applicable local, state and federal laws.
