The Canadian Business Association is a registered non-profit organization with a President and seven Directors comprising the Board of Directors as well as an office run by the President.  Membership is organized along industry lines or sectors, with association support being supervised by assigned Directors.

Annually, the membership elects the association’s President and Directors, appoints the external auditors and deliberates on any other topics deemed warranted.

The President is responsible for the day-to-day activities of the association.  He has a reporting obligation to the Board as well as to the Members.  With respect to the CBA office, the President engages in general oversight on behalf of the Membership.

Like the President, the Board reports directly to the Members. The Board meets a minimum of four times per year.

The Audit Committee is a statutory committee of the Board, with its task is to engage in financial oversight on behalf of Members.  The Audit Committee is comprised of a minimum of three Directors, one of whom is the Chair.  The President does not sit on the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee not only reports directly to the Board, but has specific reporting obligations to the Members.  The Audit Committee meets a minimum of four times per year.
