Committee Competency Framework
The Board approved the adoption of the Committee Competency Framework, which will be available later this year. As is the case with the Board, College Committees should be comprised of individuals who possess the knowledge, skills and experience to discharge their duties effectively. Improving how the College is governed will strengthen our protection of the public and enhance public confidence in the regulatory system.
