GOVERNANCE
... continued
Diversity
Research suggests that
board member diversity is
associated with better-
performing organizations
because diversity
expands views on issues,
options and solutions.
Council identified the
importance of having the
following represented:
• Physicians with diverse
clinical experience
• Geographical diversity
• Diversity of perspective/
opinion
• Diversity of age and
career stage
Board
Recruitment
(Hybrid model)
The CPSO believes that
a hybrid model (election
and appointments)
encourages physician
engagement, while
appointments based
on competencies
ensure that the board is
comprised of a diverse
group of people with a
wide range of expertise,
skills, knowledge and
perspectives.
Board
Competencies Equal
Remuneration
Desirable competencies
of board members include
both specific skills and
characteristics of board
members. Characteristics
include qualities such
as being well-informed,
strategic, energized and
engaged. Skills include
competencies in areas
such as governance
and organizational
effectiveness, policy
development, regulation
and the public interest
and specific fields (e.g.,
communications, finance,
human resources, law, etc.). Board members will sit
at the table because
they have the expertise
and competencies for
effective regulatory
governance. They will
also carry a similar
workload. Given this
situation, it makes sense
to pay all members
equally. MD
