Governance
Equity’s Constitution & Bylaws express all of the rules of the Association, as determined by members. This includes the governance and structure of Equity as well as the rights and responsibilities of its members.
Council creates and maintains policies that set Equity’s objectives and ensure the Association does its best to meet those objectives within the parameters determined by Council. They also establish Council’s process for doing its work and evaluating the work of the Association.
Policy Governance
Equity’s governance approach places primary importance on a board’s responsibility to set specific organizational results for their organization. The staff of the Association are responsible for the achievement of these defined goals, within specific limits, set by Council. Results are monitored through rigorous evaluation of the Association’s work.
