How to Request an Appearance Before the Board
A delegation – an individual or group – seeking to appear before the Board or to distribute unsolicited information must email the request to the Board Secretariat a minimum of 10 working days before a published meeting date of the Board.
Requests should be sent to:
board.governors@senecapolytechnic.ca
The request must contain:
- the reason(s) for the appearance
- copies of any material to be distributed to the Board
- name, email address and telephone number of the spokesperson(s) for the delegation
- number of people in the delegation.
The Board Secretariat will advise the Board's Governance and Nominating Committee, who will decide on the disposition of the request either through referral to the full board or the President.
When a decision has been made to receive a delegation or refer a delegation to the President, the Board Secretariat will advise the delegation's spokesperson.
A delegation appearing before the Board will be allowed 10 minutes for a presentation, unless the Board, by majority vote, allows for an extension.
At the conclusion of the presentation, members of the Board, through the Chair, will be allowed to ask questions for clarification.
At the conclusion of the presentation, the Board, by resolution, will receive the delegation's statement or refer it to the President for further response or action.
