## C - Board President Relations

## Background

It  will  be  necessary  to  negotiate  the  President's  contract  when  selecting  a  new President or when the President's contract is renewed.  In either case the process for negotiating a contract is the same.

## Policy

The  Board  of  Governors  Executive  Committee  (excluding  the  current  President)  is solely  responsible  for  negotiating  the  President's  contract  and  will  use  the  following guidelines when doing so:

1.  The contract must consider College Employer Council reference documents and any other applicable government guidelines.
2.  The process should be thorough and objective.
3.  Confidentiality must be maintained.

## Procedure

1.  As delegated by the Board, the Executive Committee has the authority to lead the contract negotiation process on its behalf.
2.  Board members are encouraged to provide input to the Executive Committee during Committee of the Whole.
3.  The Board's Treasurer (unless they have applied for the position of President) may be asked to provide logistical assistance in ensuring that the negotiation process and activities are conducted in conjunction with Board, College and government policies and procedures.

If the Treasurer is disqualified from providing assistance, then the Board may identify another College resource.

In any  event,  the  College  resource  selected  to  assist  in  the contract negotiation process is only permitted to help the Executive Committee in the mechanics of the process and to permit proper budgeting of funds.  This is important to ensure that there is no conflict of interest.

4.  When developing the contract, legal counsel must be consulted.
5.  Communication  with  College  stakeholders  should  not  take  place  until  an agreement with the President has been reached.

## Monitoring System

The Board of Governors will evaluate the effectiveness of the process as required.
