3.3 Board members
The collective role of a Board is predominantly to:
- set corporate direction and goals;
- oversee the plans of managers to achieve these goals; and
- review progress at regular intervals.
Members are required to familiarise themselves with the organisation which the Board represents and with members' legal and statutory obligations. They must take reasonable steps to ensure that they are informed about the business of the Board to make informed decisions. Individual Board members are responsible collectively for Board decisions and Board members should support and adhere to all Board decisions. Members can exercise a dissenting view on particular decisions which should be appropriately minuted.
