Mission
To develop and maintain a detailed governance program (operations, procedures, and accountability) as well as preserve the Bylaws of the Association to ensure the future success of ADSC: International Association of Foundation Drilling.
Goals
- To maintain the standing policies developed in the four major areas of Governance:
- Governance Process Policies (Defining the Board’s job)
- Executive Limitations Policies (Defining the CEO’s job)
- Board-CEO Linkage Policies (Defining the Board to CEO connection)
- Ends Policies (Defining the Objectives of the Board)
- To ensure that the Board acts as a body in order not to risk giving contradictory definitions of its expectations to the association, and that the expectations of the association are met by stating policy, delegating, and checking for compliance with those policies adopted by the Association.
- To periodically review the existing Bylaws, as well as other documents of the Association, and recommend revisions to those documents to the Board when appropriate.
Objectives
- To maintain annual renewal of the Chapter Agreements.
- Standardize the distribution of meeting minutes through the ADSC website.
- Develop Committee Chair Guidelines
- To support and implement the 2011 Long Range Plan.
