Washington, DC
Several members of a 501(c)(4) are planning on bringing a suit against the Board of Directors for:
- Failure to perform its fiduciary responsibility
- Not providing Member Lists as per Bylaws & DC non-profit code
- Holding questionable elections (disqualifying candidates & revoking memberships).
My question is whether becoming one of a dozen plaintiffs could open me up to any unforeseen fallout (defamation, frivolous lawsuit (BTW, it's not).
I'm more concerned about potential inconvenience or legal fees I could incur by the BoD's potential dilatory reciprocation than a legitimate countersuit.
