Governance & Work Planning�

  • Four key governing documents primarily guide the work of CEOS:
    1. CEOS Terms of Reference defines the mission and scope of CEOS activities
    2. CEOS Strategic Guidance document articulates the overarching long-term (7-10 years) purpose and goals of CEOS
    3. CEOS Governance and Processes document provides guidelines on the structure, operations, and processes CEOS employs to achieve its goals
    4. CEOS Work Plan (3-year rolling) sets forth near-term actions to achieve the goals outlined in the CEOS Strategic Guidance document

​

  • The CEO is the custodian of all CEOS Governing Documents, including the annual update of the 3-year CEOS Work Plan and the definition and monitoring of the deliverables it informs
