Who’s a Board Member?

A Board Member is a representative of the Community of the highest caliber and character who, once a member assists with the management of the Corporation without remuneration.

What does the Board of Directors do?

The Board of Directors serves as the legal authority for the Corporation and as such, acts in a position of trust. Members are elected to plan the organization’s present and future direction, as well as manage and direct its affairs and provide continuity for those affairs. Accepting the role means assuming collective responsibility for its assets, liabilities, income and expenses, carrying out its policies and for evaluating those policies from time to time. Most importantly, the Board of Directors ensures there are sufficient funds to carry out its functions.

Why do we need to know the role?

Many Board Members serve for months before they really understand what they are supposed to do. This confusion can waste valuable time for both the new Board Members and for existing members who must carry an extra load until the new member is familiar with their role. It is even possible that the new member could unknowingly make a public faux pas that could have been avoided.
