2025 Operational Committees

An operational committee provides review, guidance, and oversight for the specific project or service area as detailed in the committee mandate.

Operational committees are designed to bring together OCNI staff members, OCNI Board of Directors, and designates from the OCNI membership to develop insight into the business operations to suggest strategic business directions and business policy implementation. Operational committees usually meet quarterly to discuss company issues at hand and provide proper feedback or suggestions to the OCNI staff liaison.

If you have questions or are interested in joining one of our operational committees, please reach out to hello@ocni.ca.

Meetings

Committees should meet regularly or a minimum of twice per year. Additional meetings may be called by the Chair if circumstances or issues arise when required.

Staff Liaison

Each OCNI operational committee has a minimum of one OCNI staff liaison to ensure the flow of information between the committee and the organization is sufficient, as well as manage the scheduling and minutes of meetings.
