1.8 COMMITTEE PRINCIPLES

The Agency will have a Program Committee (Terms of Reference Appendix 1) and a Resources Committee (Terms of Reference Appendix 2).  The Board may establish other standing or ad hoc committees to help it carry out its responsibilities.  To preserve Board authority, committees will only be used as required to support the Board’s work.

Board committees will not speak or act for the Board except when formally given such authority for specific and time-limited purposes.  Such authority will be clarified in the Terms of Reference for the committee.

Board committees will assist the Board in doing its job by recommending, analyzing, deciding and/or acting as directed by the Board.

Board committees will not exercise authority over staff and operations and must work within the Agency’s mission and policies.

Board committee Terms of Reference, staffing, reporting, time lines, etc. will be defined by the Board when the committee is established.
