DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On November 6, 2017 the Board held their fourth and final discussion on Board Protocols with BK Consult who also presented the Self-Evaluation and Assessment Tool for the first time. Based on the four sessions with BK Consult, staff has prepared the final Governance Handbook (Attachment 6A) for Board consideration.

On October 16 and August 28, 2017 the Board participated in effective governance sessions two and three respectively where they progressed through multiple draft Protocols in preparation for adoption at a future regular meeting.
