Board & Officer Authority
Make decision authority clear.
Clarify which decisions belong to the board, officers, committees, members, or management and document the authority needed to act.
Discuss decision authority
Connect legal authority with everyday decisions.
We trace who may decide, approve, delegate, and sign under the governing documents and relevant law. We then compare that framework with how leadership actually operates.
The work translates that analysis into usable approval thresholds, delegations, resolutions, or authority records. Boards and management should be able to identify the right decision-maker without reinventing the approval process for each significant matter.
