The Board is responsible for the stewardship, strategic
direction and supervision of the business and affairs
of EA. Some of the key governance functions of the
Board include adopting and monitoring compliance
with an ethics code, reviewing and approving EA’s
five-year strategic plan and annual business plan,
planning CEO succession, and satisfying itself that
management has identified the principal risks of the
business and implemented appropriate systems to
manage those risks. The Board ensures that EA is
accountable to the public in the region it serves through
appropriate transparency processes, disclosure practices
and effective communications plans and policies.
Over the past few years, the Board has taken steps
to adopt a governance and accountability framework
that has been recommended by the federal government
in draft legislation governing airport authorities.
