Executive Committee of the Board of Directors
Role
Roles
An executive committee is a subset of the Board of Directors that acts on behalf of, and within the powers granted to them by, the Board.
The CAN Executive Committee:
- Performs an annual review of the Executive Director
- Reviews the compensation of the Executive Director
- Vets strategies before bringing them to the full Board of Directors
- Makes limited board-wide decisions
Examples of how other non-profit organizations use their Executive Committees include:
- Approving policy decisions
- Reviewing and approving management proposals
- Establishing the agenda for Board meetings
Used appropriately, Executive Committees enable a board to conduct urgent business when a regular meeting isn’t scheduled and the full board can’t readily be convened.
