Other TNI programs create and approve policies and SOPs that are applicable to their program. As mentioned in the TNI bylaws, the TNI Board of Directors reviews all policies and SOPs for fiscal impact to the organization and risk. The policies and SOPs below have been approved by the committee or board that developed the policy and SOP and in many cases, have also been endorsed by the Policy committee and confirmed by the TNI Board of Directors.
