LiRN is governed by a skills-based board of directors comprised of individuals with experience in libraries, legal practice, information management and innovation, finance, and access to justice. They meet approximately 8 times per year (see our Deadlines and Events page for meeting dates). The board makes policy decisions and deals with other matters related to LiRN’s governance.
The board is appointed based on a nominating committee’s recommendations. The nominating committee is made of of six shareholder representatives and is guided by a skills and competency matrix.
The board has three standing committees:
- Audit and Finance Committee (Terms of Reference). The Acting Chair of this Committee is Ted Chadderton. Members include Vicki Whitmell and Annette Demers.
- Governance Committee (Terms of Reference), Chaired by Sarah McCoubrey and include Fernando Garcia and Neil Guthrie.
- Network Policy Committee (Terms of Reference). Augustine Krawchenko chairs this committee and Vicki Whitmell sits on it as a member.
The staff and day-to-day operations are overseen by the Managing Director.
