Roles of the Board


The basic job of the board is to DIRECT and PROTECT. The board directs the affairs of the organization and protects the interests of its members. To accomplish this effectively, our board has developed governing policies in four areas: 

Corporate Ends refers to the results expected to be seen by the world. This includes development of a strategic plan.

Board Operations is about how the board itself functions - how it makes decisions, when it meets, how it communicates with the donors.

Board/Staff Relations and Reporting focuses on the communication system between the board  and the senior management. 

 

Staff Operations is the area of responsibility that the board has to ensure that staff do not go beyond the boundaries deemed critical to the organization.
