B-18 BY-LAW 16 – MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS - Chairing of Meetings of the Board

Sponsor: Glenn Maxwell, Director, Advisory Council | Disposition: Withdrawn

Whereas the Board of Directors meeting chair is not selected by the Board of Directors and that the Chair is normally the President or selected by the President alone;

Therefore it resolved that By-law 16.1.1 be adopted as follows:

By-Law 16.1.1 (New) At the first meeting of the Board of Directors in January, the Board shall decide on a neutral Chair person who is external to the Board, which may be solicited from the membership or external to the Institute. The chair position shall be a non-voting position on the Board.

Resolutions Sub-Committee Comments - If a member is used as Chair, the cost would be $20,400. If an external Chair is procured, the cost would be $62,800.

The passage of this resolution would require amendments to multiple other BLs, none of which have been submitted prior to the deadline for submission. This resolution should be out of order, as per Resolutions Sub-Committee similar decisions.
