RECO, Real Estate Council of Ontario, is governed by a nine-person board of directors split in three director categories: sector directors, non-sector directors, and ministerial appointees.
The role of RECO’s board is to assume the overall stewardship of the organization by adopting strategic governance practices, overseeing the organization’s affairs and monitoring and assessing the performance and progress of RECO’s short- and long-term goals. The board is expected to champion the strategic goals while the day-to-day operations are led by the CEO.
Board Directors are responsible for acting in the best long-term interests of RECO and are required to adhere to the Code of Conduct for Directors (Schedule C of the Administrative Agreement with the government of Ontario).
