In November 2015, the CES Board of Directors approved a series of policy updates, revisions and new text based on a detailed review of existing documents and incorporating best practices from other societies. The new CES policy suite also now includes Terms of Reference for standing committees of the Board. Several additional policies will be developed in the coming year; and a schedule for periodic review has been established.

A tremendous thanks for the steadfast and diligent efforts led by the Governance and Process Committee and the contribution of all Board members.

The following policies are now available to guide the National Board in their work on behalf of CES members.
