Unity of Control

Only decisions of the full Board acting as an entity are binding on the CEO.

Accordingly:

1. Decisions or instructions of individual Board members, officers and committees are not binding on the CEO except in rare instances when the Board has specifically delegated such exercise of authority.
2. In the case of Board members or committees requesting information or assistance which, in the CEO’s opinion, require and redirect a material amount of staff time or resources that would be disruptive or unreasonable, the CEO may refer such requests to the full board for official authorization.
