Policy Governance

• In Policy Governance the Board (Conference
  Executive) is responsible for the whole
  organization but accomplishes this in two,
  distinct ways.
• It creates a clear division of labour between the
  Board and the Executive Director (Executive
  Secretary).
• The Conference Executive decides upon the Ends,
  the goals to be achieved
• It empowers the Executive Director to focuses on
  the Means, how we will accomplish our goals,
  but within clear limitations

Policy Development

• The process of clearly defining Ends can be quite
  challenging, especially when keeping in mind our
  priorities for limited resources
• Policies are reviewed and updated regularly to
  ensure they represent the current goals and
  priorities of the church
• The BC Executive is currently working on a new
  version of the Ends document which will be
  clearer and easier to understand
• The Executive plans to meet four times in the
  coming year to finish this work soon
