Because the Columbia Association is a corporation,
albeit a nonprofit one with a community service
mission, the CA Board of Directors has all
of the legal responsibilities required of members
of any corporate board. In recent years, residents and members of the CA Board have been examining the roles of the respective bodies. The Board has included improving
the governance as one of its strategic issues. To view a copy of CA's Strategic Plan click here.
Over the past several years the Board has commissioned
a number of task forces on governance, evaluated a number
of recommendations, amended the CA By-Laws to operate Board meetings under Robert's Rules of Order, and may consider other CA Charter and By-Law amendments. For a complete history of
this process click on
Reports.
In FY 2007 the Board moves towards changing to a committee-driven method of governing. This comes as a result of recommendations from a process improvement task force report which examined board processes best practices.
