ACCESS TO ASSOCIATION RECORDS
Section 9.01. Access to Association Records
Upon timely and reasonable written request, in a form and manner prescribed by the
Association, members of the Association will be entitled to examination of Association
records and information where the President and the Association’s general counsel, or the
Board of Directors agree that the request is in good faith, that the information requested
and the purpose for which it is requested are materially germane to the requesting
person’s status and interest as a member of the Association, where the furnishing of
information will not be inimical to the Association’s best interest, and where the release
of such information will not subject the Association to litigation or invade the privacy of
any person.
The Association’s response to requests from members for Association information shall
be governed by the following rules and procedures:
(a) No requests for information shall be considered until the requesting
member fills out and executes an information request form.
(b) The request form as executed will be reviewed as soon as possible by the
President who, before acting, shall consult with the Association’s general
counsel. If both conclude that:
(1) The request is in good faith,
(2) The information requested and the purpose for which it is requested
is materially germane to the requesting member’s status and interest
as a member of the Association,
(3) Furnishing the requested information will not be inimical to the
Association’s best interests, and (4) The release of such information will not subject the Association to
litigation or invade the privacy of any person.
Then a time and manner will be provided for making such information available
during normal business hours, upon payment of reasonable costs.
If either or both disagree to the applicability of any of the foregoing factors, the
matter will be referred to the Board of Directors for decision based upon those
same factors.
