Board Policies

The Board must  set policies for its own internal workings – how meetings will be conducted, what topics will be addressed, the role of officers and committees, how the Board will discipline itself.  An effective design of Board process ensures that the Board fulfil its three primary responsibilities:

1. Maintaining links to its publics, including advocacy, community relationship building and fund raising on behalf of the College.
2. Formulating Selkirk College’s policies:
   
   • Mission, Vision, Values and Outcomes;
   • Board-Staff Relationships;
   • Executive Limitations;
   • Board Process.

     3.  Assuring organizational performance.

These are areas in which the Board, and only the Board, must assume full responsibility.  By setting clear Board Process policies, the Board develops a consistent approach for how it will operate - compelling it to remain focused on providing vision and leadership.
