Agreements which include a clause placing risk on the organization such as fines for breach of contract or claims to property as recourse, for example, must first be authorized by a vote of the Board or Members. Upon entering into a contract on behalf of the Corporation, the President shall promptly notify the Membership and make a signed copy available for review. Where no Membership authorization is required, the President is encouraged to consult with the Membership on such matters.
