Protocol for Board of Directors Open Session Meetings

The Board of Directors is committed to being open and transparent to its stakeholders by conducting its business in public through Open Board meetings. This is an opportunity for the Board of Directors to keep the public abreast of what is happening in their health care system. The meetings also create and promote an understanding of the role of HSN in the community and emphasize the responsibilities of the Board and its decision-making process. The public is welcome to attend these meetings.

Protocol for Public Attendance

Individuals requesting to attend, are required to submit a request at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. As seating is limited and/or a virtual link will need to be provided and to confirm date and time, please submit your attendance request to Christine Hryciw, Interim Board Liaison at chryciw@hsnsudbury.ca . Please include your full name and organization, as applicable.

Members of the public may be asked to identify themselves at the meeting. Members of the public are not allowed recording devices, videotaping, or photography.

Members of the public may not address the Board or ask questions of the Board without the permission of the Chair. Individuals who wish to raise questions with the Board must contact the Board Liaison in advance of the meeting.

The Chair may require anyone who displays disruptive behaviour to leave.
