Committees of the Board of Directors
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee evaluates and recommends the approval of financial statements. It maintains a relationship with the auditor and validates the budget content and assumptions. The Committee also validates financial plans to ensure their medium and long-term viability as well as business plans for projects that have a major financial impact. In addition to reviewing changes to the budget and any significant variances, the Committee identifies potential risks and ensures they are being managed. Finally, the Audit Committee orders internal audits when necessary.
Human Resources Committee
The Human Resources Committee ensures the alignment and distribution of overall goals within the organizational structure. Jointly with the President and CEO, the Committee ensures accountability, verifies that the Senior Directors’ goals are coherent and oversees succession planning. The Human Resources Committee also approves the comprehensive compensation policy, recommends overall salary increases and ensures human resource policies are in line with sound management practices and YMCA values.
Governance Committee
The Governance Committee proposes structures and procedures that allow the Board of Directors to act independently of management. It verifies that governing practices follow bylaws and recommends amendments. It also proposes the mandates and activities of the AGM, the Board Committees and the Local Advisory Councils. In addition to recommending Director roles, it establishes processes for the evaluation and development of current Directors. Finally, it recommends policy ratifications.
