We are looking for five dedicated individuals to join our Board of Directors and help guide our efforts.
Imagine Canada aspires to strengthen Canadian charities and nonprofits so they can better serve individuals and communities both here and around the world. In turn, we can foster a stronger Canada where charities and nonprofits work together alongside business and government to build vibrant and prosperous communities.
To accomplish this, we are seeking five (5) dedicated volunteers to join our Board of Directors.
As a national organization representing a diverse sector, Imagine Canada has embarked on an anti-racism organizational change process and is committed to diversifying its Board. We particularly encourage applications from Black people, Indigenous people, people of colour, people with disabilities, members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and those with varied areas of expertise and lived experiences.
Directors of Imagine Canada meet six times a year through a combination of in-person and videoconference meetings. They compose the senior decision-making body of the organization and the Board operates on a governance-as-leadership model. Board members are also expected to join a committee or working group.
The time commitment varies throughout the year, but averages 2-4 hours per month. Imagine Canada also encourages our Board Directors to make a personal financial gift as a sign of investment in the organization. In order to ensure that financial matters are not a barrier to participating on the Board, there is no minimum or suggested gift amount.
As per the organization’s Bylaws, the Nominating Subcommittee will use best efforts to ensure that at least half of the Directors are connected (through employment or volunteer service) to an organization that is a Member of Imagine Canada. While the sector is too vast to have all subsectors represented at any one time, the organization seeks to ensure a rotation of interests, whereby different mission or cause areas are present on the Board from time to time.
The Board is focused on achieving the priorities of Imagine Canada’s Strategic Action Plan. From time to time, different priority areas emerge to support key aspects of its work. This year, the Nominating Subcommittee is giving priority to the following areas:
