What is
policy council?
Policy Council is a group of elected parents in our program that act as a governing body along with the Board of Directors to oversee the operation of the agency. The Policy Council meets once a month. The Policy Council should initiate suggestions and ideas for program improvements, work in conjunction with the Board of Directors in the establishment of goals for the childcare programs, and develop ways to meet these goals. The Council also approves the services and method of delivery for all CHILD, Inc. programs and makes the final selection of all program staff to be hired.
Policy Council elected officers
The general officers, Chairperson and Vice Chairperson, shall be chosen by the members at the first meeting after orientation. Each officer shall be elected for a term of one year.
Sharon IaDeluca, Vice Chairperson
The Vice Chairperson shall perform the duties of the Chairperson in his/her absence and assist the Chairperson in all official capacities.
