BOARD COMMITTEES - EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

In any organization the Board is the highest and ultimate decision-making body. However, as the organization grows in size, it may not be possible for the Board to make all the decisions directly. This is more so since the Board consists of volunteers who sacrificially give their time in governing the organization. Therefore, the Board decides to delegate certain responsibilities to the management team and provides oversight. Basically, the Board makes a distinction between governance and management function. While the governance functions are retained at the Board level, the management functions are delegated to the management.
