Governance

The CRKN is governed by a Board of Directors. The Board is supported in its work by a number of Committees of the Board and Standing Committees.

These committees allow members to actively engage in the operation, activities and development of CRKN. Through their involvement on Committees of the Board and Standing Committees, members are able to share their experience and provide valuable guidance to the organization.

The Board of Directors is also guided by an external Advisory Board whose role is:

  • to assist and advise the Board of Directors with respect to strategic planning and other matters as determined by the Board from time to time;
  • to provide a vehicle for development of partnerships and joint ventures; and
  • to advance strategic, collaborative and complementary approaches to research infrastructure development among members and other organizations.

The Advisory Board plays a proactive role in guiding CRKN planning and program development, initiating dialogue with the Board of Directors on matters of strategic interest as well as responding to matters referred from the Board of Directors.
