On February 22, 2005, the Board passed the following motion:  "As a display of the leadership role that the Selkirk College Board must play in fundraising for the benefit of the institution and the region, those members of the board who receive an honorarium, with the exception of the elected student representatives, are encouraged to donate their honorarium to the institution through the Selkirk College Foundation; such donation to be designated to the donor's area of choice."  The hope of the current board is that this practice will continue with full board participation in perpetuity and new candidates to the Board should be aware of the expected financial commitment.
