GOVERNANCE Guide
STATEMENT OF GOVERNANCE
Governance refers to the activities of the governing Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Pine Mountain Settlement School. Governance is the act of framing laws, policies, and missions for the Administration of the institution. The Administration (ADMIN) is concerned with the implementation of the products of Governance and is centered on the duties of the Executive Director of Pine Mountain Settlement School. Management is the coordination of activities to achieve goals and objectives undertaken by the Administration and framed by the laws, policies, and mission of the institution as outlined by the Governance of the Board of Trustees.
Governance establishes the mission and the strategic plan with the Administration which then sets the goals and objectives. Governance (BOT) ensures that all the processes of Administration and Management are compliant.
GOVERNANCE DOCUMENTS
