Policy Statement


The President is accountable to the Board acting as a collective body; therefore, only officially passed motions of the Board are binding on the President.

Accordingly:

  1. Decisions or instructions of individual Trustees are not binding on the President except when the Board has specifically authorized such exercise of authority.
  2. The President shall seek direction from the Board Chairperson on requests from individual Trustee that in the President’s judgment may require a material amount of staff time, funds, or that are potentially disruptive.
