The Board of Directors is the highest authority within the Association, as outlined in the StFX Students’ Union Constitution, a governing document that can only be altered through a referendum.
The Board is composed of up to 10 students who are elected by the membership to serve two-year terms. Its primary role is to set the direction of the Association each year and to hold the President accountable for achieving the Board's vision. The Board operates under a Policy Governance Model, where members create and modify policies in the following areas:
Executive Limitations: Policies designed to empower management by establishing boundaries.
Governance Process: Policies that define the Board’s scope and responsibilities.
Board-Management Delegation: Policies that connect governance to the President.
Ends Policies: Policies defining the core purpose of the organization—what it aims to achieve, not just what it does.
The President serves as the Chief Executive Officer, responsible for interpreting and implementing these policies in the daily operations of the Association. While the Board is focused solely on shaping the future, it does not concern itself with past or present matters. The Board’s duty is to establish policies that ensure the Students’ Association is continuously enhancing the student experience and educational quality at St. Francis Xavier University.
