What is a disclosure?

Disclosures are information that must be shared with members to maintain transparency and ensure accountability in how the organization operates. This includes financial statements, budgets, governance policies, meeting minutes, contracts, compensation details, conflicts of interest, and other material information. Because there are many aspects of how an association functions that members have a right to know, disclosures typically span a wide range of items. Therefore, stating that associations must disclose many items to their members best reflects how disclosures work. The other options imply disclosures are optional, limited, or only for large employers, which doesn’t align with typical governance expectations for associations.
