  • The development of policies may be delegated to a Board committee such as the Executive  Committee.

  • The Board will ensure that policies comply with the Society's bylaws and with relevant legislation and regulations

  • The Board will seek input on policies from the SSO, staff and Society membership as appropriate

  • The SSO is responsible for implementing policies, except for those policies governing the Board itself

  • Policies are evaluated on as needed basis and revised as appropriate. The Board as a whole must approve revisions to policies.
