Board Committees

The Board of Directors is supported by Board Committees which assist with the detailed review of specific areas of governance, oversight and organizational performance. These Committees consider matters within their respective areas, provide guidance where appropriate, and make recommendations to the Board for decision-making.

Each Committee operates within the authority delegated by the Board and is expected to report to the Board on matters reviewed, actions taken and recommendations requiring Board consideration.
