Adjudicative
agencies, boards and commissions serve various roles and diverse interests.
Adjudicative boards have quasi-judicial functions. There are presently
33 adjudicative boards. These boards take evidence, make findings of
fact and law, and make decisions affecting a person’s liberty,
security, or legal rights. Board members need to apply legal principles
as well as sound professional and technical principles for the decisions
under their consideration.
In their cover letter and resume, applicants should clearly provide evidence of how they meet the following selection criteria in
their work, volunteer or other life experiences:
-
respect
for the essential dignity of all persons regardless of their circumstances,
and commitment to diversity and employment equity
-
ability
to apply a broad perspective on issues, and work with a team to listen
to others, constructively solve problems, make objective and fair
decisions, and reach consensus in a timely manner
-
ability
to deal professionally with confidential and sensitive information
-
ability
to communicate effectively and write clear and concise board reports
-
peer/community
recognition of high ethical standards and integrity in professional
and personal interaction.
Preference will be given to applicants with previous
involvement/experience in matters related to the board’s function.
In addition to the above noted criteria, any head or chair of an adjudicative
board should have a proven ability, preferably as a board or meeting
chairperson, in leading groups to constructively solve problems and
bring about fair and consensus-based decisions.
