The roles and responsibilities of the Management Group are described in Article 9-2 of ESC Statutes. The Management Group advises the Board, prepares the Board’s agenda and discussions, and oversees the implementation of the Board's decisions. In circumstances that require immediate action to avoid substantial damage, financial or otherwise, to the ESC, the Management Group may make decisions usually falling within the scope of Board responsibilities. The Management Group may confer the decision-making power to the President or the Secretary/Treasurer. The Board will be informed as soon as possible, and by any appropriate means, and will confirm such decisions(s) during its next meeting.
