Board of Directors Roles¶
The Board of Directors system implements a hierarchical structure with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and voting weights. Each role is designed to contribute specific expertise and authority to the decision-making process, ensuring comprehensive analysis and balanced decision-making.

style D fill:#ff9800
style E fill:#9c27b0
style F fill:#607d8bDiagram Explanation: This hierarchical diagram shows the organizational structure of the Board of Directors, with the Chairman at the top having final authority and the highest voting weight (1.5). The Chairman directly supervises all other board members, each with specific responsibilities and voting weights. The Vice Chairman and Executive Director have elevated voting weights (1.2 and 1.5 respectively) due to their senior positions, while the Secretary, Treasurer, and general Members have standard voting weights (1.0). Each role contributes specialized expertise to different aspects of the decision-making process.

Chairman's Decision Flow¶

G -->|No| I[Exercise Authority]
I --> J[Make Final Decision]
H --> K[Oversee Execution]
J --> K
K --> L[Monitor Progress]
L --> M[Review Results]
M --> N[Final Approval]Diagram Explanation: This flowchart shows the Chairman's decision-making process from task reception to final approval. The process begins with task assessment and board composition determination, followed by agenda setting and discussion leadership. The Chairman then facilitates consensus building, and if consensus is reached, approves the decision. If consensus cannot be achieved, the Chairman exercises their authority to make a final decision. The Chairman then oversees execution, monitors progress, reviews results, and provides final approval.

Expertise Contribution includes domain knowledge, technical expertise, and industry experience. Analysis involves data analysis, impact assessment, and feasibility study. Voting covers informed voting, proposal evaluation, and consensus building. Specialized Input includes specialized recommendations, risk identification, and opportunity assessment.

K --> P[Decision Support]Diagram Explanation: This diagram shows the communication flow and interaction patterns between different board roles. The Chairman serves as the central communication hub, coordinating with all other board members. Each role has specific communication channels and responsibilities: Vice Chairman handles operational coordination, Executive Director manages strategic alignment, Secretary manages documentation flow, Treasurer oversees financial matters, and Members provide expertise input. These interactions support implementation, strategic execution, record keeping, budget control, and decision support.
