Introduction
The NEC serves as the Board of SANGOCO, and has fiduciary responsibilities that it must fulfill. Whilst the responsibility lies with the Board as acollective, sub-committees are instituted to assist in the smooth running of the organization, and allow for decision making regarding matters thatfall within the jurisdiction of some of these sub-committees. Care must be taken that ultimately the Board functions and its powers are not usurped by the sub-committees.
In the main, the sub-committees are instituted to address the following:
- To give responsibility to Board members and to engage their interests more fully.
- To provide additional capacity to the organisation to get tasks done.
- To develop capacity of the Board members in the leadership of groups.
- To engage other skilled people and like-minded agencies and tap into their knowledge to enhance the functioning of the organisation.
- To give outside contributions to the Board (and to get buy-in from broader groups to the running of organisation– including staff).
- Subcommittees can be either Standing committees or can be more short-term Task teams Ad hoc committees.
Regulation of Sub-committees
As indicated above, measures should be put in place that these sub-committees are regulated lest they undermine rather than enhance the smooth functioning of the Board. As the basis for regulating the sub-committees, it must be understood that these sub-committees are:
- Mandated by Board resolutions to oversee one aspect of the implementation of the strategic plan of the National Secretariat.
- Must be headed by a Board member.
- Are accountable to the Board.
- Are composed of at least the Executive Director (as convenor) and/or his/or her representative and 2 other Board member plus any other representatives by invitation (not on Board, staff, etc).
- Executive Director (or delegated staff member/ convenor) to make sure that information required by the committees is available for decision-making (all requests to go via the Executive Director).
- To develop an annual plan of action with dates for delivery.
Has an advisory role and only makes recommendations.
