Executive Committee

The Executive Committee (EC) establishes agendas for BFC meetings, suggests nominees for ad hoc committees (such as search committees and task forces), and delegates work to the standing and elected committees. In emergencies and during breaks, the Executive Committee is authorized to represent the BFC and make decisions, but must report on them at the next BFC meeting.
