Our Board Committees are comprised of a small subsection of the Board of Directors. The Committees have a more specific purpose and mission that then Board as a whole. Committees of the Board provide a platform for the board to deal with specific issues that require specialised areas of expertise. Committees allow boards to divide the work of the board into manageable sections. Our committees focus specifically on areas such as Finance, Human Resources, Risk, Governance, CPD, ISW Journal, MBH & Adoption and International Affairs.
