CCA's Board and Committee Responsibilities Policy outlines the roles, responsibilities, and procedures related to the Board of Directors. Included in this policy are CCA's "principles of governing style, " which highlight the Board's governance role.
This policy affirms that the Board's sole official connection to the operation of the organization is through the CEO. Board members do not involve themselves with operational details, nor do they direct staff, or interfere with the performance of their duties. Board members should always direct their questions to the CEO, not to staff members.
Moreover, only decisions of the Board acting as a body are binding on the CEO, except in rare instances where the Board has specifically delegated such authority to a specific director or Board committee.
