Chambre's Committees

The Board relies on the support of the many Chambre committees to back its decisions. The committees are advisory bodies. The Board gives the committees the mandate to discuss certain topics that will facilitate decision making and render it more effective. The committees analyze the topics arising from the mandate. They give an account of their work to the Board and make recommendations if necessary. The Board must ratify a committee’s recommendation to render it operational.

The Board of Directors counts five committees :

• Governance Committee
  This committee shall respond to specific requests from the Board of Directors or the Chair of the Board, and advise them with respect to all matters of Chambre governance so as to ensure that the structures in place are representative, efficient and ethical.


• Professional Training and Development Committee
  This committee shall make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding its policies, orientations and principal types of involvement with respect to the professional training and development of the Chambre's members.


• Audit and Finance Committee
  This committee supervises, in a general way, the finances of the Chambre and works out the budget.


• Regulation Committee
  This committee makes sure that the regulation of the Chambre is in bond with its mission.
  (There is no call of candidature for this committee.)


• Succession Committee
  This committee shall be responsible for fostering the involvement of members within the Chambre's Board of Directors, its committees, its regional executive boards and its electoral college and highlighting the role of Chambre directors among members and ensuring that members fully understand that role.
