The Governance Committee voted to request that staff advance the draft Islands Trust Corporate Planning Process to Trust Council for consideration at its September 2026 meeting, subject to amendments and clarifications from the chief administrative officer.^[1]

Discussion included the possibility of changing the purpose of the Futures Project list to include all identified planning issues, with an annual review to clarify feasibility and priorities.^[1] Trustees also discussed including local trust committee projects and a strategic plan developed by trustees in the corporate plan.^[1]

The minutes say feasibility assessments could help identify which actions are deliverable and support setting priorities. Chief Administrative Officer Reuben Bronee expected to incorporate minor amendments based on the discussion and said any major amendment would require a separate document for Trust Council.^[1]

The committee also voted to request staff prepare a request for decision for the September 2026 Trust Council meeting recommending that the incoming Trust Council consider replacing some standing committees with select committees to support Council’s strategic priorities.^[1]
