Are they required to sign a non-disclosure agreement? My Goodness - these aren't the Nuclear Launch Codes we are talking about.

No. Internal has a meaning. Actually, yes they do. And part of the reason it was made public is because there were some instances of sexual misconduct, and leadership said (paraphrase) 'This is not who we are, we will not tolerate this, and here is the policy (as well as all the other rules) for all to see'.

Private for profit company; internal secrecy of policy without public disclosure is fine. Tax exempt non profit governing body for youth based organizations... ehhhh, nope secrecy of policy is not fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But an organization can go above and beyond the legal minimum if they desire. Let's say there are two non profit organizations that govern over youth activities. The first follows the law, discloses their 990's to the public, but keeps all policies secret and will not provide any info apart from what they have to do legally even to parents of the youth who are in organizations in which they govern. The second follows the law, discloses their 990's to the public, but also informs the public about their Code of Conduct Policy, their Sexual Abuse Policy, their Hiring Policy, their Whistle Blower Policy, and their Bylaws. Which youth governing organization is attempting to inform folks that they are looking out for the best interest of the youth, and which acts like there might be something shady to hide? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me you are differentiating between Management & Leadership. The first organization in your example has a manager; the second has a leader.

Possibly; but while a manger can only do what the leader prescribes, a leader can also just do the minimum required by law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Could you imagine Stu picking apart a dci policies and procedures manual? That alone would be reason enough to keep it in house. Edited November 23, 2017 by HockeyDad 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
