Each committee has a Board Liaison that provides a report of the committee’s activities back to the Board on a regular basis.
Committees meet via Zoom, Skype or Teleconference and /or e-mail on a regular schedule as determined by the Chairperson of the committee. Goals are set, based on the Terms of Reference for the committee, of what the committee sets out to accomplish during its ‘year’ (June – May).
