Board Committees

The RCB has established committees to enhance the efficacy, efficiency, and prompt dispatch of duties upon the Board.

Executive Committee

Members of the Executive Committee includes the president and vice-president. As elected officers, this Committee makes interim (between board meetings) decisions as necessary. This Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the board members with respect to legislation impacting the RCB's mandate. This Committee also provides guidance to administrative staff for the budgeting and organizational components of the RCB and is responsible for directing the fulfillment of recommendations made by legislative oversight committees.

Enforcement Committee

Members of the Enforcement Committee are responsible for the development and review of board-adopted policies, positions and disciplinary guidelines.
