The purpose of the Board of Directors is to represent the membership and to direct the Club to meet the mission and mandate for the members and community within the available resources. The Board of Directors is the legal entity and authority for the Club. The Board provides oversight, leadership, direction and sets policy to ensure that the Club can fulfill the mission, mandate and strategic plan.
The role of the Board is to articulate and communicate the mission and values. The Board defines the parameters within which the Club operates.
The Board is a corporate body – individual members (including the chair) and committees do not have the authority to direct the activities of the staff.
The Board of Directors meets monthly. Unless otherwise determined, Board Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month, at 7:30 pm BGC Leduc. Any community member interested in attending a meeting of the Board (as a guest) or wishing to have an idea or issue discussed at a Board Meeting, is encouraged to contact the Board President a minimum of one week prior to the meeting, in order to have their information added to the Board Agenda.
