It has a duty to act in the best interests of the Corporation and to exercise care and due diligence. The Board is also responsible for the annual performance evaluation of the Director and Chief Executive Officer. The Chairperson is responsible for the proper conduct of Board meetings to ensure that the Corporation carries out its mandate and objectives effectively, ensures good value for public funds and holds management accountable for its performance.Further details about the Gallery and its activities can be found on the National Gallery of Canada website.
