2017-18 NPRB Biennial Report

OPERATIONS

Working Groups & Committees The Board convenes assorted working groups and committees with short or mid-term responsibilities. These work groups are composed of board and panel members and are charged by the board with specific mandates, questions, or topic areas. The recommen- dations of these working groups and committees then provide additional input into the Board’s various deliberations.

Policy Revisions NPRB operates under several self-imposed policies in order to assure orderly, fair, and identifiable procedure, such as its conflict of interest (COI) policy, last updated in May 2016. In September 2018, the Board voted to approve housekeeping amendments to its Statement of Organization, Practices, and Procedures, which last underwent a major revision in 2016. Both policies can be viewed on the NPRB website http://www.nprb.org/nprb/about-us/#policies.
