Governance

The Board of Governors oversees RRC Polytech on behalf of the Manitoba Government. The Board is a corporation comprised of Manitobans from the public and private sectors, a RRC Polytech employee and a RRC Polytech student. The College President is a non-voting member of the Board.

The Board meets approximately 10 times per year from September through June and Regular Board Meetings are open to the public.

The Board of Governors is responsible to the Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Immigration for ensuring the business and affairs of RRC Polytech are conducted in accordance with the laws of Manitoba.

As the governing body of RRC Polytech, the Board of Governors:

• defines RRC Polytech’s vision, mission and mandate, and approves the long range strategic plan for the College.
• sets the overall policy direction and standards for the effective management and operation of the College, and monitors compliance with its policies and standards.
• is responsible for assuring the financial integrity of the College. It does this through regular monitoring of the College’s finances, contracting for an annual independent financial audit, and approving the College’s annual budget.
• approves the selection, compensation, and dismissal of the RRC Polytech President. The Board regularly assesses the President’s progress in achieving the goals and objectives identified in the College’s strategic plan and annually reviews the President’s overall performance.
