ATTENDANCE
Four regularly scheduled quarterly Board meetings and seven special Board meetings were held, and each Board committee met at least four times during the 2023 fiscal year. The table below includes one joint meeting of the Risk and Audit Committees. A joint meeting is convened only when the Board determines that there are matters impacting both the Audit and Risk Committees that should be discussed together either to align understanding between all committee members, or where there are decisions needing to be made that require engagement of both committees.
Directors are expected to attend all Board meetings and meetings of committees on which they serve. Special meetings are generally held on short notice. Directors are invited to and often attend meetings of committees they do not serve on, and may contribute at such meetings as guests.
The following table sets out the directors’ attendance at the Board meetings and committee meetings held during fiscal 202 3. This table includes the attendance of Dr. Marie Delorme who will not be standing for re-election on April 4, 2024, but excludes the attendance of Mr. Robert Manning who retired from the Board on April 6, 2023.
LAP (1) (14 meetings)
