Board task groups are established by the board of directors, as authorized in the council bylaws, to assist the board in carrying out short-term projects in specific areas of work. They are comprised of board members, non-board members, and community representatives with expertise in the area in which the task group has been charged. Board task groups are set up at a particular time for a specific, limited purpose and work within a defined time frame. Upon completion of their task, and submission of recommendations to the board, a task group is dissolved.
