The Corporation

Independent members usually serve an initial term up to four years and are eligible for re-appointment at the end of the four year period. Elected students serve up to two years and elected staff serve up to four years. Members are expected to serve on at least one committee each.
The Corporation Board normally meets four times a year in addition to holding an annual conference. Much of the detailed work is completed through Corporation committees. They are:
- Audit Committee (required by Statute)
- Employment and Finance Committee
- Search Committee
- Remuneration Committee
- Standards Committee
- Ad Hoc Committees/Task Groups may be formed when the need arrives
