The Board of Directors has established the following Committees:
Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) is responsible for governing policies on enterprise risk, internal controls, financial reporting, and management authorities. It ensures effective risk mitigation, reviews major transactions, and provides oversight of the external audit process. The committee sets the framework for enterprise risk management (ERM) and ensures systems are in place to support the Burlington Theatre Board Inc’s strategic, operational, and financial goals. It monitors the integrity of financial reporting, internal controls, and the work of external auditors on behalf of the Members.
Development and Relationship Management Committee (DRM) oversees communications & accountability reporting (e.g. annual report), the program of outreach to major sponsors, patrons, and funders. It is responsible for overseeing the process for identifying, selecting and inducting persons into BTB’s Hall of Fame. The committee also sets policy on relationship management, supports the development of BTB’s community impact statement, and ensures effective communication with external stakeholders.
Governance, Ethics & Human Resources Committee (GEHR) is responsible for providing effective governance and Human Resources functions at the Burlington Theatre Board Inc. It oversees Board terms of reference, governance protocols, Director orientation and development, performance evaluations, and Board talent. It maintains bylaws, codes of conduct, and employment policies.
Nominating Committee facilitates the identification of candidates for election to the Board of Directors. The objective of the process is to create a Board which has the combined talent required to provide effective oversight of BTB and can conduct its work with an independence of mind, and where each Director understands how a fiduciary is to operate. This is a time limited committee whereby it must be convened at least 90 business days before the AGM and its work is concluded at the issuance of the announcement of the members of the Board of Directors following the AGM.
