The governance of Common Approach is structured to be community-driven. This structure is brought to life through our Board of Directors, Social Purpose Organization Council, and Technical Committees.
The Board of Directors is the primary governing body of Common Approach, and oversees the work of the Secretariat staff.
They are recruited from the social purpose and impact measurement communities and aim to be representative of those communities.
The Social Purpose Organization (SPO) Council ensures that the needs of operating charities, nonprofits and social-purpose businesses and those they serve are centered in the ongoing development of Common Approach’s impact measurement standards.
They are chosen for their expertise, lived experience and enthusiasm they bring to shaping the future of Common Approach.
The Technical Committees undertake substantive direction of the Common Approach Standards. The members of the Technical Committee are responsible for drafting revisions to standards, with focus areas determined by users of the standards.
Each Technical Committee is composed of five to eight individuals who are selected for their expertise and enthusiasm.
Under the direction of the Board of Directors and SPO Council, staff is tasked with the operational execution of strategic objectives, the coordination of activities, and supporting our community of users.
