Corporate Orientation - Governing in the Public Sector: A Guide for Province of Nova Scotia Government Agencies
This publication provides background information to help prepare individuals for their role as a director of a government agency in the Nova Scotia Public Sector. The information is intended to supplement each government agency’s governance policy and the purpose-specific orientation that agencies provide to their directors upon assuming their duties. The document is not an exhaustive discussion on the topics presented; rather, it is presented to assist both new and returning directors in their governance and oversight role and to promote further independent study.
The materials have been compiled after consultation with Ministers, Deputy Ministers, departmental staff and representatives of government agencies. Your feedback on the content and presentation would be greatly appreciated. It is expected that this publication will evolve over time to reflect feedback and advances in governance and accountability practices.
