CABRO co-ordinates the legislated performance and reporting annual cycle for Crown Corporations under the Budget Transparency and Accountability Act, oversees the recruitment and recommendation of candidates for appointments to Crown corporations, agencies, boards and commissions, and provides public sector governance advice and training.

Eleven people are appointed to the UBC Board of Governors by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Two appointed members are nominated by the University’s alumni association (University Act Part 6 – Board of Governors).

Generally, government appointment policy provides that a member may serve a one-year term, a second two-year term and a final term of three years, for an overall maximum of six years on a particular board.
