SFU Board of Governors 2024/25 Meeting Schedule
Listed below are the dates for the meetings of the Board of Governors in 2024/2025 and the submission dates for receipt of materials. Board meetings are usually held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursdays. Unless otherwise noted the Board Committees will normally meet one week prior to the Board meeting. The Committees listed in the schedule below are as follows:
- Governance, Risk and Compliance Committee (GRCC)
- Audit Committee (AC)
- Finance, Investments and Property Committee (FIPC)
- Executive Committee (EC)
- Ad-hoc Committee (AHC) meetings are held where required
As we prepare for our full-year proceedings, it is our commitment to do so in line with SFU’s core value of engagement and openness. To further embed SFU's values in our governance systems, we will be offering our open Board meetings in a hybrid format which will include opportunities for involvement in-person and online. These meetings are convened to ensure the business and operational continuity of the university and it is important that the Board can conduct its public business in a way that fulfills its mandate.
Members of the public may be invited to participate in open meetings if they have submitted an agenda item that is approved, they have been identified as a resource to the topic, or they have been approved to speak to an agenda item. If you would like to propose an agenda item, or request to speak to an existing agenda item, visit the Board Submission Instructions page for more information.
Additional space in the gallery at open meetings will be reserved for members of the public who wish to observe the Board’s operations. We ask anyone wishing to attend in person complete a registration request form and to read and respect our Guidelines for Attendees.
These changes will ensure the community can witness the Board’s business in an open, transparent and public format while ensuring they are inclusive, safe and respectful for all.
