Governance at Airways CONTINUED
Continuing education Airways provides ongoing support for continuous professional learning and development to all Directors. Airways also expects that Directors will take responsibility for continuously improving their own professional knowledge and skills, utilising and supplementing this support where required. Monitoring performance Each year, the Board critically evaluates its collective performance, processes and procedures. The performance of individual Directors is also reviewed and evaluated annually. In 2019, the Board set its own goals and engaged a representative from the Institute of Directors to facilitate their evaluation of performance. Committees The Board has established a number of committees, all supported by formal charters and focused on addressing some of the key Board responsibilities. The role, key responsibilities and members of the committees are set out below and in the charters published under the “Our Board” section of the Airways website. While these committees are responsible for certain activities and decisions, ultimate accountability still resides with the Board, who receive reports and meeting minutes back from all Committees covering their proceedings.
