2011 Board Agenda

Framework is pleased to share the Board of Directors schedule and discussion/approval items. Our year end is December 31st. Because Board Members are from across Canada, nearly all the meetings are held by conference call up to 10 times per year. The calls are scheduled on the 2nd Thursday of each month from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm ETN. Where possible, the Executive Director has included the narrative for each meeting.
