Board Governance

1.1.2

Complied

Induction and orientation are provided to incoming governing board members upon joining the Board. Are there governing board members holding staff appointments? Staff does not chair the Board and does not comprise more than one third of the Board. There are written job descriptions for the staff’s executive functions and operational duties, which are distinct from the staff’s Board role. All governing board members must submit themselves for re-nomination and re-appointment , at least once every 3 years. If the charity has not appointed any governing board member to oversee its finances, it will be presumed that the Chairman oversees the finances of the charity. The Treasurer of the charity (or any person holding an equivalent position in the charity, e.g. Finance Committee Chairman or a governing board member responsible for overseeing the finances of the charity) can only serve a maximum of 4 consecutive years.
