OASIS Committees Supporting,
Developing and Growing
OASIS’s committees are composed of volunteers from our Board of Directors, Advisors, and members who work in collaboration to help develop and promote the association’s mandate, vision and goals.
The committees are always seeking new volunteers to help drive the association forward and help create a positive voice in their respective industries.
If you are a member and would like to learn more about the various committees or to volunteer, feel free to email us at: numair.uppal@oasisontario.on.ca
Executive Committee
Chair
Peter and Wanda Inglis
Members
Randy Knight, Bob Thomson, Rob MacLellan & Numair Uppal
Committee Overview
The Executive Committee (EC) has the power to act on behalf of the full Board of Directors (BODs). The EC is a standing committee that often acts as a steering committee for the full BOD. Functioning as a steering committee, the EC prioritizes issues for the full BOD to address. Although the EC comprises senior-level leaders, the committee members report to the BOD.
Though the EC meets frequently and independently, they’re still ultimately accountable to the BOD. Taking advantage of the latest board management tools, they submit regular meeting minutes, documentation and a record of votes to the BODs.
