Role of the Board

Role of the Board

The Board does not involve itself in operational matters. Club staff are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Club’s on-field and off-field business and operational delivery and do so within an annual budget approved by the Board.

Through its Executive Committee, the Board hires, regularly meets with, supports, advises, and evaluates the performance of the Club’s Executive Director. The Executive Director in turn is responsible for hiring, managing, evaluating staff.

The board’s key responsibilities include:

• Setting strategy and vision and evaluating progress towards strategic outcomes.
• Making high-level policy regarding board organization, oversight of senior management, ethical compliance, board recruitment and development, and succession planning.
• Ensuring that the Club has capable management.
• Defining potential conflicts of interest and attempting to ensure they are averted.
• Ensuring that the Club has sufficient financial resources to adequately finance its operational and capital requirements.
• Ensuring that all legal and financial obligations are being met.
• Anticipating, mitigating, and managing risks to the Club.
• Representing the Club to key stakeholders.
