Governing our organization is one of the most critical roles someone can play at CMHA SCB. That is why we recruit a variety of skill levels for every seat on the board.

What is the Job of Board Members?

Effective Governance means ensuring that the appropriate process and structures are in place to direct and manage an organization’s operations and activities, and to ensure that they function well.

In addition, Board Members monitor the strategic plan, business plan, and annual budget, and help make decisions that guide the organization’s progress.
You will also participate in regular evaluation of the board’s performance.
