What are the main responsibilities of Council and Committee Members?
Council or Non-Council Committee Members have a general responsibility to become familiar with the objectives of the College as well as relevant legislation and policies. Also, Council/Non-Council Committee Members are expected to prepare themselves for meetings by reading the materials that are pre-circulated and participate actively in the deliberations and decisions. Depending on the committee, members may be participating in the development, establishment and maintenance of policies, standards and regulations. Committees such as Registration, Quality Assurance, Complaints and Discipline break into panels to consider specific referrals regarding members’ practice. Maintaining confidentiality and exercising sound judgment is key.
