Thank you to the board members questioning this draft policy. When we elect board members we ask them to represent us, not the entity they are overseeing.

Does it occur to the Corporate Comms that restricting speech for elected officials might move their cherished "favorability" metric ......way down?

What's next? Corporate Comms will control candidates speech and campaign material when they run for that board in 2024?

I think that their "favorability reading" just went down with this ham-handed attempt to keep it up.

Again / the First Amendment Coalition provides good advice to organizations, boards, and individuals that may not realize (or care?) what the phrase "free speech" means for members of public legislative bodies.

If it is indeed true that "the recommendations provided at the May 16 meeting were provided jointly by the communications, governance, legal and compliance departments," then some heads should roll in the legal department. This is exactly the kind of blunder that lawyers are supposed to save organizations from. If they can't, then they are worse than useless.
