Governance
As the Board formulates policies, makes decisions, and oversees a broad array of District matters, it is necessary to ensure the Board has the structure, systems, competencies, and resources available to meet these responsibilities. Therefore, the Board must:
- Have the appropriate operation configuration;
- Make sure necessary evaluation and development processes are in place;
- Conduct its meetings in a productive manner; and,
- Fulfill its fiduciary obligations.
The Governance Committee assists the Board in ongoing improvement of its function, structure, and infrastructure, making this a Standing Committee. The Governance Committee's duties include:
- Recommending amendments or changes to the District bylaws and Board policies;
- Conducting an ongoing District bylaw and Board policies review to ensure these are current and consistent with the Board’s and the District’s functions and operations;
- Developing the format for the evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer and then conduct this periodic assessment; and,
- Developing a format and administer the Board of Directors’ periodic self-assessments.
The Governance Committee shall meet no less than quarterly.
