The Opportunity
Four (4) positions are available for interested individuals or organizations to join the Network Activators on this Council.  

The Council is expected to meet at least four times a year through videoconference meetings. The Council will bring subject matter expertise, networks, and skills and will play an important role in ensuring the relevance, credibility, and accuracy of CCNDR’s offerings. It will also play a key role in propelling forward CCNDR's activities, structure, and organizational design. As part of their network reach, Council members are expected to help connect CCNDR with funders, fundraisers, and funding opportunities, opening doors that strengthen the Centre's sustainability and growth. 

The time commitment varies, but will likely average 2-4 hours per month. As per CRA guidelines, Council members will not be paid or reimbursed for their time, however they can be reimbursed for travel, accommodation, and other incidental expenses.

Priority Areas
CCNDR is continuing to evolve as it contributes to the digital future for the nation’s charities and nonprofits. As such, it is important that the Council reflect the breadth and depth of the sector. Priority areas include:

• Subsectors – Individuals with current or previous experience with mission/cause areas not currently reflected by the co-founders or funder collectives;
• Skills/Experience – Individuals with experience and expertise in digital resilience, digital transformation, data management and privacy, AI, and/or cybersecurity; understanding of the evolving digital environment within which charities and nonprofits operate;
• Geography – Anywhere.  The Council will retain a uniquely Canadian perspective, but is open to contributors from around the world.
• Demographic background – Individuals with a variety of experiences due to gender, age, ability,  ethnicity, or other factors;
• Leadership - Demonstrated experience operating in a consensus decision-making process; and experience with change management.
