BOARD MEMBERS-ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
A Board works on the
principle of collective wisdom. The underlying principle for setting up of a
board is that the collective decision making process minimizes risks and
maximizes effectiveness. In that context, the individual members play a
very important part in enhancing the overall effectiveness of the board.
Therefore, the board must be a fine blend of individuals drawn from different
walks of life & diverse sections of community.
Board members set the
strategic direction of the organization. Along with providing oversight and
supervision to ensure that management and operations are legally compliant,
effective and appropriate, the Board is supposed to make effective decisions.
