Board Orientation Manual 2024

Legal Services The Legal Services Chair is a volunteer with a professional legal background and should be prepared to advise the host society in legal matters, should the instance arise. This volunteer will support the Director of Administration with the incorporation and dissolution of the local Games society, as well as review (and in some cases develop) contracts affecting the host society. Experience in contract and corporate law would be beneficial. Risk Management The Risk Management Chair will bring together individuals who can look at the overall Games operations from the perspective of ensuring risks are identified and minimized, wherever possible. This includes securing insurance policies over and above the commercial general liability and Directors’ and Officers’ insurance maintained by the BC Games Society, to protect the BC Games inventory from fire, theft, and other damage, ensuring that the Games are protected in contracts and rental agreements by having certificates of insurance issued/requested, and looking at venues from a safety perspective. This Chair is also responsible for ensuring the BC Games discipline management processes are communicated to the Board and implemented.
