Committee Charters
Define the Purpose and Responsibilities of a Committee
A committee charter establishes the purpose, responsibilities, authority, membership, and operating arrangements of a committee.
Lamtas supports charter development for board committees, management committees, advisory groups, and other formal organizational committees.
A charter can explain the committee's relationship with the board or management, reporting responsibilities, meeting arrangements, and areas of oversight.
Source information may include existing governance documents, committee instructions, organizational structures, meeting practices, and reporting requirements.
The document is structured to distinguish the committee's role from the responsibilities of the wider board or management team.
Where committee responsibilities have legal or regulatory implications, appropriate professional review should be obtained.
