How Equity is governed

Two standing sub-committees of Equity Council are set
forth in Council's Policy Governance Document:

Professional Development Committee

As articulated in Governance Policy # 8 Council Committee Structure the Professional Development Committee is charged with the following responsibilities:
(i) Product: To develop policy alternatives for Council’s consideration and deliberation
in the area of Members’ Professional Development.
(ii) Authority: The committee has the authority to use reasonable financial resources
and a reasonable number of staff person hours to accomplish its task.
(iii) Timeline: June Council 2008

The former responsibilities of the Professional Development Committee are now delegated to the staff of Equity. Groups or organizations remain eligible to receive up to $3,000 for professional development, to a maximum total disbursement of $20,000 per year. In addition, a grant of $30,000 has been made to Equity Showcase Theatre (Toronto) for Ontario Equity members' professional development initiatives in 2007-2008.

The Honours Committee selects honourees for the Larry McCance Award, Honorary Membership and Life Membership awarded annually.
