MAV Board Responsibilities
The MAV Board’s key responsibilities are to:
- define the detail of policies, objectives and strategies determined by State Council
- set and evaluate directions, priorities and performance standards for the MAV
- appoint the CEO and monitor his or her performance
- liaise with MAV representatives from their regions.
The Rules empower the Board to pass codes of practice or protocols to supplement the Rules and guide office bearers, Board members and MAV representatives.
