Each committee is led by a Chair and co-Chairperson who reports on its committee's objectives and progress to the Board. All committees are bound by our governance – ESC Bylaws – to maintain the ethical integrity of our collective work.
We encourage you to review the terms of reference for each committee to better understand their scope and responsibilities.
