Managing Directors
Recommendation:
That the Board of Directors receive this report for information.
Background:
The General Manager is the sole employee of the Board of Directors, and it is the Board’s
responsibility to “supervise the management of the affairs of the corporation.” A report from the
General Manager will be provided at each meeting, and is one tool to assist you with that
responsibility.
Please note that members of the Board have access to the General Manager and Managing
Directors in between meetings, and are welcome to ask questions, seek clarification, and
engage with the GM and MDs.
