Performance of Directors

Prior to each financial year all Directors are allocated performance growth targets through consultation with the CEO that will add value to the organisation. These targets are evaluated for each individual at the end of the year together with feedback from the CEO and Chairman on the person's overall performance and contribution.

During 2008/09 the Board collectively achieved 85% of all performance growth targets.

Director term

A Director's term of reference runs for two years. A Director may be appointed at any time by the Board so long as they are a Member of Camp Quality prior to the appointment. A Director may resign at any time or be removed from office by special resolution passed by the ordinary Members at a General Meeting convened for that purpose. All Directors are volunteers who freely donate their time, energy and professional expertise to Camp Quality

Induction & Ongoing Training

Aside from their Director duties we encourage are Board Members to attend and take part in Recreation and P&E events every year so they can experience, first hand, the impact of our programs. They also frequently visit CQ offices.
