Committees: Difference between revisions

The Board of EBC creates [http://culture.alberta.ca/bdp/bulletins/Committees09-print.pdf Board committees] to help do its work. These are distinct from Operations committees which are created by EBC staff members to help do operational work.

Both Board and Operations committees have open membership unless otherwise noted. Participation on each committee depends on your interests, skills, and experience that you'd like to gain. Each committee will form a Terms of Reference to describe the purpose of the committee, the time commitment involved, and other organizational factors.  See below for EBC's template TOR that can be suited to each committee.

Effective committees require effective chairpersons to facilitate meetings. Please read EBC's [[Committee Chair Job Description]].

The Terms of Reference (TOR) is used by a committee as a tool to help it guide its own direction, as well as to make clear its powers, boundaries, and role within the broader organization. It should answer most general questions that would arise during its work regarding the committee's relationship to the rest of EBC's governance structure. It should also answer, "what will this committee accomplish, what can I do as part of this committee, and why do we want to do this?"
