Langs is governed by a board of up to 15 board members who are elected at the Annual General Meeting in June of each year. Governance is the process that the board uses collectively to meet community needs. It is the Board of Director’s role to govern the organization.
Langs operates under an adaptation of the Balkwill and Associates Governance Model which outlines three levels of responsibility in a non-profit organization: governance, management, and service delivery.
The primary purpose and functions for each level are defined:
Governance: The Board of Directors is responsible for the governance level.
Management: The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the management level or the day-to-day operations of the organization.
Service Delivery: The front-line staff, in partnership with volunteers and other organizations, provides programs and services to the community.
