loyalty and care.

(2) A manager shall manage the unincorporated nonprofit association in good faith, in a

manner the manager honestly believes to be in the best interests of the association,

and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as a prudent person would

manager may rely in good faith upon any opinion, report, statement, or other

information provided by another person that the manager reasonably believes is a

competent and reliable source for the information.

and is otherwise able to exercise independent judgment;

(b) Is informed with respect to the subject of the business judgment to the extent

the manager reasonably believes to be appropriate under the circumstances;

and

unincorporated nonprofit association and in accordance with its purposes.

manager to the unincorporated nonprofit association or its members for damages for

any action taken, or for failure to take any action, as a manager, except liability for:
