IFA Governance

.

The International Federation on Ageing (IFA) is a registered Canadian Charity. The organization operates as a corporation, incorporated under Canadian law, which means the IFA is a legal entity distinct from the individuals who founded the organization.

.

The Board is the legal authority for the organization.

.

Board Directors are trustees representing the interests of the organizations members both constitutional and moral. As such, both the board and its members are entrusted to ensure that the organization is soundly managed for the benefit of older persons.

.

Board Responsibility

.

The role of the board is governance rather than management, which is the responsibility of the Secretary General, staff and professional and volunteer staff. Governance focuses on the organizations purpose, including the setting and monitoring the strategic direction and the establishment and monitoring of board-level policies.

.

The Board contracts with the Secretary General for the management and administration of the Organization. The Secretary General is responsible, within parameters established by the Board, for determining the methods by which the Board's directions and policies will be executed and the desired outcomes achieved.

.

The Secretary General is employed by the board of directors and is, therefore, responsible to the board as a whole rather than to individual members of the board. The Secretary General is required to implement policies as determined by the Board and consistent with the requirements of any legislation or regulations
