BGC Board of Directors Nomination Process

 

The Board for Global EHS Credentialing is recognized worldwide for establishing and administering credentials that elevate the technical and ethical standards for professionals who practice the science of evaluating, protecting, managing, and enhancing the health and safety of people and the environment.”

The Board of Directors is comprised of twelve Diplomates (BGC certificate holders) for four-year terms, and one public member for a two-year term. The goal of Board composition is to have a broad representation from the professional community. Two to three new Board members are selected each year.

 

he BGC Board of Directors uses the Carver Policy Governance model, which emphasizes policy-making and strategic leadership in four main areas:

  • Ends: what results are to be achieved, for whom and at what cost
  • Executive Limitations: staff boundaries for operational/administrative activities
  • Board-Staff Linkage: delegation of authority to staff and staff accountability
  • Governance Process: how the Board governs itself and is held accountable

The Board meets face-to-face, for one to two days, three times per year (February, during the AIHce, and October). The meetings are usually held on a weekend to avoid conflict with work. Expenses related to Board travel are covered by BGC.  Monthly conference calls are scheduled to also conduct business and monitor progress.

The BGC is a 501(c)6 non-profit corporation. The Board of Directors does have fiduciary responsibility for the work of the organization. BGC maintains Directors and Officers liability insurance. Because of the nature of the Board’s work, Directors will be expected to sign a Confidentiality/Conflict of interest statement.

Additional information on the BGC can be found here on our website or by contacting the BGC Nominations Committee.
