B. Policy 
1.  Authorization for Staff Access to Islands in the Trust Area 
1.1 Islands Trust Council believes it is in the best interest of the organization for 
employees to have some knowledge of the Trust Area and island lifestyles. 
1.2 Most planning staff can attend meetings on islands or travel to view sites under 
consideration for land use changes as a regular part of their duties. However, there are 
other support staff in the offices that never have the opportunity to go to other islands 
as part of their regular duties. This policy provides an opportunity to increase 
familiarity with the islands for those staff. 
2. Management Responsibility 
2.1 The Management Group will develop an overall plan relating the value of island 
exposure to work objectives of staff. 
2.2 The Chief Administrative Officer will provide an evaluation of this program to Trust 
Council annually to include benefits achieved, staff interest in the program, and cost. 
3.  Funding Guidelines 
3.1 All expenses will be paid by Islands Trust under normal travel expense regulations.
