What is the CMLTO Governance Scorecard?
The CMLTO Governance Scorecard is our Board of Directors’ way of measuring key governance and outcome indicators over the year. This way, the CMLTO Board of Directors can hold itself accountable for delivering on its vision, achieving the College’s critical results, and delivering governance excellence.
The CMLTO Governance Scorecard is divided into the following Key Indicators which are measured and reported on:
- Board Member Capacity
- Careholder Linkage Outcomes
- Critical Governance Process Outcomes
- Public Interest Impact
Within these 4 main Key Indicators, there are more sub-indicators included. Read below for more information on the sub-indicators, their description, CMLTO’s targets, and our current position:
