 Board of Directors - General

It is impossible for the ISQCCBE Bylaws to contain stipulations for every situation. Answers to some question and concerns will rely on tradition, common sense, good judgment and practicality in upholding and furthering the goals and objectives of the Court. Therefore, incidents that arise over issues not covered in the ISQCCBE Bylaws should be brought to the Board for determination and decision, as should matters of by-laws interpretations. In addition, the Board of Directors shall publish event-specific or topic-specific guidelines/stipulations to supplement the ISQCCBE Bylaws and to ensure the continued integrity of the organization

I hereby acknowledge receipt of “ISQCCBE Board of Directors Responsibilities”:
