- Ensure organizational goals, mission, policies and strategic priorities are met and remain relevant.
- Provide active and ongoing advice and counsel to the board and agency as required.
- Be a resident of Ontario.
- Serve a minimum three-year term.
We want our board to reflect the communities we work in and to have a range of different voices within it. We’re looking for people with real life experience of the challenges we’re tackling.
Here are some areas of knowledge that would help us in our work:
- Communications and marketing.
- Accounting.
- Information technology consulting.
