Nature of the GC Board of Trustees

  1. The GC BoT is a working Board. The regular staff is composed of only the Executive Director and one Administrative Assistant. Consultants, technical assistants, researchers, and other human resources are hired for specific projects for fixed terms.
  2. Each trustee is expected to help to the extent that she/he can for aevents and projects. Board meetings are held once a month. This is a regular set day agreed upon soon after the regular elections so that the trustees must plan to fit it into their schedules. Special meetings.are also called; members are expected to exert best efforts to attend these. Should a Trustee exceed the allowed number of absences, she/he shall be considered technically resigned.
  3. Trustees are expected to support all GC activities with their presence to the extent possible. GC regular activities are Kamayan every third Friday of the month, the SONA every August, Christmas fellowship in December and the Environment Summit every 2 years.
