Board Meeting Highlights
CDHA’s board of directors works year-round in service of all members, setting priorities for the
association and
advocating for the profession and the importance of oral health to overall health. Twice a year, board members
normally
meet in person to discuss important operational and policy matters and review the association’s progress in meeting
its
strategic goals.
Summer 2024 Board Meeting Highlights
The Board met via Zoom on July 30, 2024.
Finance
- One of the key roles of a Board of Directors is its fiduciary responsibility. The Board received a report from the
audit committee and met with CDHA’s auditor to review the audited financial statements for 2023-2024. The Board approved
the audited financial statements for 2023-2024 fiscal year.
- The Board accepted the Auditor’s External Monitoring Report as presented, which validates that the financial affairs
of CDHA meet the auditor’s standards for financial management as required in Board policy. The board also accepted the
audit committee’s recommendation to re-appoint KPMG as the CDHA auditor for the 2024-2025 fiscal year and go to tender
for an auditing firm for the 2025-2026 fiscal year.
Policy
- The Board reviewed organizational performance to ensure compliance with its existing Ends and Executive Limitations
policies. (The Board directs, controls, and inspires CDHA through the careful establishment of broad written policies
reflecting the Board's values and perspectives. Thus, one of the key roles of the Board is monitoring and assessing
Board policies and executive limitations at each Board meeting.)
Board work
The board developed a standardized template for board committee agendas and minutes.
