About Committees

The Board of Bike Edmonton creates Board committees to help do its work. These are distinct from Operations committees which are created by Bike Edmonton staff members to help do operational work.

Examples of common not-for-profit (Governance) Board committees:

  • Executive Committee
  • Nominating Committee
  • Board Development Committee
  • Audit Committee
  • Finance Committee
  • Fundraising Committee
  • Human Resources Committee

Examples of common not-for-profit Operations committees (or Administrative Board committees):

  • Outreach & Engagement Committee
  • Volunteer Development Committee
  • Special Events Committee
  • Program Committee
  • Communications Committee


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 Bike Edmonton's template TOR that can be suited to each committee.

Effective committees require effective chairpersons to facilitate meetings. Please read Bike Edmonton's Committee Chair Job Description.

Terms of Reference template

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 Bike Edmonton'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?"


The TOR must be clear, specific, and tangible. The purpose of it isn't to be a meaningless form: it should provide clear guidelines and measurable goals.
