Board Affairs Committee

Responsibilities

• Recommend modifications in organizational policies and governing values to help guide the Board in achieving its strategic goals. Assist the Board in effectively carrying out its governing functions in such a manner so as to clearly delineate the roles and responsibilities between governance and management.
• Review and recommend revisions, when appropriate, to the governing documents of The Corporation.
• Forward all BAC proposed revisions of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws to staff for submission to legal counsel for appropriate action. Any BAC approved change to the CPM which staff determines needs legal review will also be submitted. Should legal counsel recommend a revision to a governing document, it will be returned to the Committee for final review before being presented to the Board for appropriate action.
• If a committee, member or staff would like to have the BAC review a change to the CPM or other governing documents before it is taken to the Board, the requested change and rationale should be sent to the chair and staff liaison of BAC at least a week prior to the next BAC meeting.
