Board Commitment

Service on the Board of Directors of the International Caterers Association is an important honor and responsibility. Much is expected of officers and the governing Board of ICA. The membership of the association relies on its officers and Board to act in its best interests, to be knowledgeable about the industry, proactive on  issues facing the industry,  be a good steward of the resources of the association, and to be honest and trustworthy in all actions.

To assure the trust and ethical expectations of the members of ICA, I affirm the following:

As a Member of the Board of Directors, I will:

  • Perform my duties so as to honor the trust of the membership that elected me.

  • Comply with all applicable statutes and regulations applying to non-profit organizations and the terms of the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, and the policies adopted by the Board.

  • Protect the interests of the association as determined by its Board, its mission, and prudent business practice.

  • Refrain from using my position on the Board for my own personal advantage or the advantage of any special interests inside or outside of the association.

  • Protect the confidentiality of private or confidential information to which I become a party as a member of the Board (e.g. - member lists, financial information, etc.)

  • Refrain from asserting authority as a Board member except when participating in a meeting of the Board or as the Board delegates to me; recognizing the President has the final authority.

Accept my Personal Responsibility and I will:

  • Attend the meetings of the Board and of committees to which I have accepted appointment, including being on time and engaged at in-person meetings or on conference calls.

  • Attend in person Board Meetings at own expense (Catersource & Summer Board Retreat).

  • Review all information and materials sent to me in connection with Board business and to provide to the Board my best attention and judgment.

  • Conduct myself so as to reflect credit on the association and the Board of Directors.

  • Abide by the Anti Harassment Policy (see Anti Harassment Policy)

  • Respect the integrity and abilities of my fellow Board members and strive to advance the unity and harmony of the Board, recognizing all actions, whether or not I agree, belong in one to the board and not to individuals.

  • Use positive reinforcement and celebrate accomplishments.

  • Work within the ICA “leadership tree” and use board liaisons.

  • Represent the mission and values of ICA.

  • Tender my resignation from membership on the Board if I am, or become, unable to serve in accordance with the provisions of this commitment.
 

Thank you for your feedback!
