Intersessional Papers
Intersessional papers are used for issues that arise during Board meetings - for example, during the Chair’s or Chief Executive’s reports - that prompt the Board to ask for further information, and for issues that arise between Board meetings that the Board needs to be informed about.
Intersessional papers are usually circulated to the Board in addition to the regular Board papers.
