Because board members will be conducting business on behalf of the boards, a best practice is to maintain a separate email account for that work. In a best case scenario, the board emails are maintained and passed on to subsequent officers/board members when the roles transition (ex: [email protected]).

While it may seem onerous to maintain separate email accounts, if for some reason communications are reviewed as part of any dispute, the discovery process only applies to the email accounts for board communication. If you are using your own personal account for correspondence, that content can be part of any discovery process which bogs down the legal work (which is expensive) and exposes your personal email to others.
