About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal record of a board decision rather than a contract between parties. It contains specific triggers for the automatic cessation of committee membership and requires the approval of external terms of reference.
When should you use it?
Use this resolution when establishing an audit, remuneration, or nomination committee. Use a Director Appointment Letter instead if appointing an individual to the main board of directors.
