EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHARGE

The Executive Committee shall:

Review the agenda for the Board of Directors meeting.   In so reviewing the agenda, the Executive Committee will set the consent and discussion agenda for the Board and allocate the time allotted to each item on the agenda.

Submit to the Board of Directors at the next scheduled or special Board meeting minutes of any Executive Committee meeting held since the last Board meeting.

Act on behalf of the Board:

 a) In the event that there is a time sensitive issue and a quorum of the full Board cannot be reached;

b) At the discretion of the Chair if he/she feels that an issue is not a major one and must be handled by the Executive Committee due to time sensitivity. 

In such instances, the Board shall be immediately provided a written summary on any actions taken by the Executive Committee on behalf of the Board. 

Ordinarily the Committee Chair should permit non-committee members who ask to do so to participate in committee meetings, but the Committee Chair retains the prerogative to close the committee meeting if necessary.
