Thinking of Applying?
The time commitment for Board members is typically 1-2 hours per month on average, with some positions requiring a little more time.
The Board meets once monthly from September to June, but may meet during the summer months depending on the needs of the centre.
Past experience on a Board of Directors is not a requirement, but is an asset.
Board members are required to sign and adhere to an Oath of Confidentiality and Code of Ethics.
Ability to work as part of a team, knowledge of the child care industry, and experience with Human Resources, law, non-profit finances, leadership, or management would all benefit prospective Board members.
