Governance Committee
Consistent with the Mission of the District, the Governance Committee (GC) reports to the Sonoma Valley Health Care District Board of Directors and helps ensure the Board is well-organized, effective, and able to carry out its fiduciary, policy-making, and oversight responsibilities. The GC reviews and recommends governance policies, supports the annual Board self-assessment, reviews the composition of Board committees, and reviews and recommends Board action on governance matters brought before the Board. The GC reports to the Board and does not have authority to act on behalf of the District.
- Its configuration is appropriate;
- Necessary evaluation and development processes are in place;
- Its meetings are conducted in a productive manner;
- Its fiduciary obligations are fulfilled.
The GC shall assist the Board in its responsibility to ensure that the Board functions effectively. To this end the GC shall:
- Formulate policy to convey Board expectations and directives for Board action;
- Make recommendations to the Board among alternative courses of action;
- Provide oversight, monitoring, and assessment of key organizational processes and outcomes.
- Take action on behalf of the Board when prompt action is necessary regarding pending legislation (state or federal) that affects the District/Hospital.
The Board shall use the GC to address these duties and shall refer all matters brought to it by any party regarding Board governance to the GC for review, assessment, and recommended Board action unless that issue is the specific charge of another Board Standing Committee. The GC makes recommendations and reports to the Board. It has no authority to make decisions or take actions on behalf of the District, except for legislative and/or regulatory issues requiring prompt action.
