Central Executive Committee

 

Background

 

The Constitutional Scoping Group proposed that the College should establish a single committee which would be more streamlined than the existing setup, to be a proactive policy making body.  The Central Executive Committee replaced the Executive and Finance Committee and Council in July 2006.  The Court of Electors, which had been independent of Council, has now become the Education, Standards and Training Committee, and is a sub-committee of CEC.  This ensures that the important educational work of the ETSC is firmly placed in the core of the College - the CEC.

 

Remit

 

The CEC has full management and control of the College and of its affairs.  This includes financial management, which is largely delegated to the Finance Management Committee.  The College is a registered charity, and full members of CEC are the Trustees of the College.  The membership and powers of the Committee are set out in the College Bye-Laws and Regulations (Section XIX in each).

 

The CEC is a strategic, pro-active committee, which identifies issues and recommends new policies for the College.  It receives regular reports from the Policy Coordination Committee, the Education, Training and Standards Committee and the Finance Management Committee. CEC  oversees the functioning of these committees, as well as its own Standing and Special Committees (see the committee structure diagram).

 

CEC also oversees matters such as:

 

· constitutional and charitable matters such as amendments to the Bye-Laws and Regulations.

· the College's Strategic Plan

· College participation in case or statute law making,

· the College's compliance with legal obligations

· the work of Faculties, Sections, Divisions and Special Interest Groups.

· the College's relationships with other organisations

· international relations

· public statements (including publications)

· establishment of new committees, Sections or Faculties

· the election of Honorary Officers

· nominations for honours
