BOS Executive Committee & Board of Directors

Executive Committee of the Board of Directors

  1. The Executive Committee, with support from the Collaborative Applicant (CA) will: oversee the day-to-day activities of the CoC, represent the BoS CoC as needed, engage with assigned regional areas to further BoS CoC integration and coordination, sign letters of support and other BoS CoC correspondence as needed, set the agendas and select the dates for BoS CoC meetings, and attend Board meetings and strategic planning sessions.
  2. The chairs rotate through chair-elect, chair, and past chair positions on a bi-annual basis.
  3. As a past chair rotates off the executive committee, a new chair-elect is elected by the Board’s directors as outlined in the BoS CoC P&P. 
  4. To avoid potential conflict of interest, the Board’s directors will make every effort to fill the Chair and Chair Elect positions with non-service providers. If the Board’s directors are unable to solicit non-service providers to fill positions, service providers may be considered. Service providers holding any board position should recuse themselves when conflict of interests arise.
