The committee meets on a six weekly cycle (probably 10 times a year). It receives reports on each of the eight activities identified on the Management Structure Chart. Goals are set and monitored by this committee. The overall control of the organization is in the hands of the Board, which meets separately only when a need to do so is identified.
