Falconer, Consultant  \nEdits by: Wendy Pinder, OODP Program Administrator and Murray Jose-Boerbridge, Executive Director, Toronto People With AIDS Foundation  \nMay, 2016  \nCopyright Statement  \nProduction of Executive Director Board Report Guide has been made possible through financial contributions by the AIDS Bureau, AIDS and Hepatitis C Programs, Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Ontario.  \nCopyright to Executive Director Board Report Guide is held by the Ontario Organizational Development Program (OODP) . The OODP acknowledges the contributions of its consultant, Dionne A. Falconer, in preparing this document.  \nThe OODP encourages the use of Executive Director Board Report Guide by organizations. However, any such publication shall acknowledge OODP as the source and Dionne A. Falconer as the Author. Its content cannot be edited or otherwise altered without permission of the OODP.  \nExecutive Director Board Report Guidelines  \nThe Executive Director’s report to the Board of Directors is intended to inform, raise issues, ignite questions and evoke pride. After reading the report, Board members should feel up-to-date on relevant, strategic-level issues; prepared to raise issues, ask questions and make decisions; and confident and enthusiastic about the organization and its work.  \nThe report should not be an activity report. It should be a concise documentation of relevant items for the time period it is covering and can be complemented by more detailed reports based on organizational needs. The six (6) sections below identify the headings, sub-headings and potential content for the report. Each of the sections should only be completed if it is applicable for the time period, and thus, not all sections are necessary for each report. There is flexibility about which section items are reported under and each item should only be documented in one (1) section. For example, a bequest of $10,000 may be noted under Key Accomplishments because it was a fundraising target or under Matters for Noting because it was unexpected but it should not appear in two (2) different sections of the report.  \nGovernance Decisions, Monitoring & Accountability  \n1. Current Significant Issues  \n􀁸 Overview or update on any significant current issues facing the organization and for which the Executive Director (ED) may want input/feedback from the Board.  \n􀁸 May be new issues or issues carried over from the previous Board meeting.  \n􀁸 Issues may be noted under sub-headings such as programs and services, finance, human resources, administration, and community partnerships.  \n􀁸 Issues that are primarily informational should be captured in Section 6.  \n2. Matters for Approval  \n􀁸 Any matters for which the ED is seeking the Board’s approval and which are not covered elsewhere in the meeting agenda. These may be specifically related to the ED, e.g. leave of absence.  \n􀁸 If the OODP Board Agenda Template is used, most matters requiring decisions would be covered in the agenda.  \n3. Risk and Compliance Update  \nIt is recommended that Boards assess the level of risk facing their organization annually. The OODP Board Risk Management and Financial Oversight Checklist is available for this purpose. Depending on the gaps and/or concerns identified and on what actions have been taken to remedy them between Board meetings, this section may have three (3) components:  \n3.1. Update on Risk and Compliance Management  \n􀁸 Brief update on any significant outcomes from the ongoing work on risk and compliance.  \n􀁸 Update on compliance status with applicable legislation and regulations.  \n􀁸 Update on relevant insurance coverage, including Directors and Officers liability insurance.  \n\n| Item | Due Date | Status | Comments |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| T3010 Annual Charity Return |  |  |  |\n\n3.2.
