Who has the authority to delegate responsibilities for new boards in ASET?

The ASET Council has the authority to delegate responsibilities for new boards within the organization. This delegation is essential as the Council is typically composed of elected representatives who have the oversight and governance responsibilities for the entire organization. They are tasked with understanding the needs and direction of ASET and can make strategic decisions about how new boards should operate, including appointing members or defining their roles and responsibilities.

In contrast, while the Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer have important operational and financial roles within ASET, their authority is generally limited to their specific areas of expertise rather than overarching governance. The Membership Committee focuses on issues related to membership and member services, rather than the structural or operational delegation of responsibilities. Therefore, the delegation of responsibilities for new boards falls squarely within the remit of the ASET Council.
