Review of Board policies is essential to supporting and empowering trustees, for example, when establishing committee appointments in the Organizational Meeting, trustees need to be cognizant of policies such as the Trustee Code of Conduct and Committees of the Board when determining conflict of interest with selection of various appointments.
