Subject: Committee Effectiveness
Origin:
Secretary
Following
discussions at Audit Committee, all formal committees are being asked to review
their effectiveness on an annual basis. Senate members are therefore asked to
consider the following:
1.
Is the purpose of Senate clear and do members feel that it has fullfilled its
purpose effectively in the last year. If Senate has not been effective, why
not?
2.
Is Senate operating in an effective way in practical terms? E.g. do
agendas/papers provide appropriate information in a helpful format, are the
right people present for discussions and decision-making, are the frequency and
length of meetings optimal or is there scope for enhancement?
3.
Do communications and operations relating to Senate work effectively? E.g.
is Senate being made aware of the right issues/items, are Senate’s
decisions being communicated appropriately to the right individuals/other
committees and are they being acted upon? Are the right individuals/other
committees receiving effective reports on the work of the committee.
