Governance

Governance of an Association is dictated by its ‘Enabling Legislation’ and, in the case of the ECA, the Legislation is the Societies Act of Alberta. From the Act are derived the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Policies and Procedures that govern and guide the conduct of the Association. Under the Act, the ECA Board is installed to conduct all business of the Association that does not require the authorization of the members in a General Meeting.

Structured under the Societies Act of Alberta, the ECA Bylaws (Section 5.1 Governance and Management of the Association) are paraphrased here to state:

‘the Board functions as an “Administrative Governance Board”; which means the Association’s business is managed by the Board but it may assign duties to paid employee(s). Additionally, each Director is required to assume specific responsibilities because collectively, Directors actively manage the affairs of the Association both as the Board and as members of Committees.’
