SFU Board of Governors 2024 Meeting Schedule
Listed below are the dates for the meetings of the Board of Governors in 2024 and the submission dates for receipt of materials. Board meetings are usually held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursdays. Unless otherwise noted the Board Committees will normally meet two weeks prior to the Board meeting. The Committees listed in the schedule below are as follows:
- Governance, Risk and Compliance Committee (GRCC)
- Audit Committee (AC) meetings are held in May and November
- Finance, Investments and Property Committee (FIPC)
- Executive Committee (EC) meeting is held in September
- Ad-hoc Committee (AHC) meetings are held where required
Open sessions of the Board of Governors’ meetings are an opportunity for the community to witness the Board's business in an open and public format. These meetings are convened to ensure business and operational continuity of the university and it is important that the Board can conduct its public business in a way that fulfills its mandate. Public participation in these open meetings is restricted to observing the Board's operations. Members of the public may be invited to participate in open meetings if they have submitted an agenda item that is approved, and they have been identified as a resource for that topic.
As a means to provide additional openness and accessibility to their open sessions, the Board is transitioning to an online webinar format. Members of the public who wish to register to view the webinar must email board_admin@sfu.ca at least two business days prior to the meeting. The Board will be assessing the change in process on an ongoing basis.
