“The Foundation Board of Directors (the "Foundation Board") approved changes to the Bylaws that will work to align the Foundation Board with best practices for governance, increase efficiencies, and streamline procedures. The over-arching goal is to empower the Rush University System for Health Board of Directors (the "System Board") and Subsidiary Boards for success as they continue to evolve to a more integrated Rush University System for Health. The Executive Summary of proposed RCF Board Governance changes are as follows: 1. Section 2.2 was added to each entity's bylaws and itemizes the RCMC Board's Reserved Powers since RCMC is the sole corporate member of each entity; 2. Removed all references to the Audit and Corporate Integrity and Finance Committees in each entity's bylaws as those are committees of the Rush University System for Health Board, operating to provide oversight of those functions for the entire Rush System; added Section 5.1 to allow for ad hoc or special committees, if needed; 3. Section 3.1 was amended to remove the itemized list of General Powers; 4. As RCF has the same Directors as the RCMC Board, Section 3.2 was amended to reflect the board composition and terms found in the amended RCMC Bylaws.”
