Board-Management Delegation Policies

The Board-Management Delegation policies describe the interactions and relationship between the Board of Directors and the Diversity Council Staff. They are guided by the following governance principles:

• The Board is a collective and has authority only as a group.
• The Board is responsible for governance; its focus is on strategic issues and policy development, not routine matters or office and program management.
• The Executive Director is the only official link between the Board and the operations of the organization.
• The Board defines that organization's values, mission and desired results; it monitors the Executive Director's performance in regard to those results.
• The Board defines the acceptable boundaries of prudence and ethics for the conduct of the organization and monitors the Executive Director's adherence to those boundaries.
