Leadership and Member Attendance Policy

Committee Leadership Attendance Policy:

Committee chairs and vice chairs accept the responsibility for carrying out the goals of their committee when appointed, and meeting attendance is part of that responsibility.

If a chair or vice chair will be absent from a meeting, a written notice should be submitted to the staff executive before the meeting date (email suffices as a written notice). If a chair or vice chair is absent from two consecutive regularly scheduled committee meetings, he or she automatically forfeits the leadership role subject to review by the Leadership Team. If a chair or vice chair is aware that they are unable to attend committee meetings, he or she should resign from the position.

Committee Member Attendance Policy:

Committee members accept the responsibility for carrying out the goals of their committee when appointed, and meeting attendance is part of that responsibility. If a committee member will be absent from a meeting, a written notice should be submitted to the staff executive before the meeting date (email suffices as a written notice). If a committee member is absent from two consecutive regularly scheduled committee meetings, he or she automatically forfeits the committee appointment subject to review by the Leadership Team.*

*This applies to committee members who have a term of more than one year.
