Duty of Care requires Officers and Directors to exhibit honesty, act in good faith, and exercise ordinary and reasonable care in the discharge of their duties. Officers and Directors must attend, thoroughly prepare for, and actively engage in deliberations during meetings, and when necessary, seek advice from third-party experts, such as attorneys or accountants.

Duty of Loyalty requires an undivided allegiance and duty of faithfulness to ORRA.

A Director has a duty to come forward and identify any conflict of interest and to refrain from voting in those instances where he/she will directly or indirectly financially benefit. Officers and Directors must avoid, disclose, and resolve any conflicts of interest. If a conflict of interest is not resolved, the duty of loyalty may require Officers and Directors to abstain from voting, participating in discussion, and potentially from hearing debate.

Officers and Directors must avoid undermining a decision of the board of directors, even if the Officers and Directors disagree with the action taken on a particular issue.
