LNC Dodges Tuniewicz’s Issues

As listeners to the meeting will have noted, the last LNC meeting adjourned with two items still on the agenda. These items automatically pass to the next meeting.

But what were the two items?

Mr. Tuniewicz asked for a discussion of finances related to the Rage Against the War Machine Rally, which used our headquarters address for some aspect of it, and the California Black Tie fundraiser last year, where income and costs have never been reported as a unit. Those items will now be on the agenda of the March Meeting.

And now there is a change. There is a motion to cancel the March meeting, so these items will not be discussed until the April meeting. Unless, of course, that meeting adjourns with these two items still on the agenda.

    Note these things can not happen AFTER but in ADVANCE of the action. This would include the Chair hiring of Baby Daddy.

    Not surprised – zero transparency since Reno from the folks who shouted loudest for transparency pre-Reno. If any officer of the LNC somehow profited from these items they may be in direct violation of DC Non-profit Code in particular:

    Standards of Conduct (D.C. Code §§ 29-406.30, 406.32, 406.42, 406.70, 406.80)

    An individual director or officer must discharge his or her duties in good faith, in a manner that he or she reasonably believes is in the best interests of the corporation, and with either the care that a person in a like position would reasonably believe appropriate under similar circumstances (directors) or with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances (officers).
    The new law provides procedures by which potential conflict of interest transactions can be processed.

    Conflicted Interest Transactions. Transactions between the corporation and any director, officer, or member having an interest in the transaction shall not be void or voidable solely for that reason, provided the transaction is fair to the corporation at the time it is authorized or provided the material facts as to the relationship or interest are disclosed and the transaction is then approved in good faith by vote of the disinterested directors or the members.

    Business Opportunities. A director may avoid liability for taking for himself, directly or indirectly, a business opportunity in which the nonprofit corporation may be interested, provided the director first brings the opportunity to the corporation’s attention and the corporation disclaims its interest in the opportunity pursuant to the procedures for a conflicted interest transaction (i.e., the material facts as to the relationship or interest are disclosed and the opportunity is disclaimed in good faith by vote of the disinterested directors or the members).
