Board Committees
The Board has established committees to enhance the efficacy, efficiency, and prompt dispatch of duties upon the Board.
Executive Committee
Members of the Executive Committee include the Board’s 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 with respect to legislation impacting the Board’s mandate. This Committee also provides guidance to administrative staff for the budgeting and organizational components of the Board and is responsible for directing the fulfillment of recommendations made by legislative oversight committees.
