The Volunteer Board of Directors is an invaluable asset to our organization. This dedicated group of individuals works hard to make a positive change in our community by providing guidance, support, and leadership to our organization. They bring valuable knowledge and experience to the table and are responsible for setting the direction of our organization. The Board of Directors is committed to making a positive impact in their community.
They work diligently to ensure that our organization is run in an ethical, efficient, and responsible manner. We are grateful to have such a committed and passionate group of individuals working with us.
Past and present OSAID Board members have come from many backgrounds such as: Education, Administration, Policing, Insurance, Community Organizations, Automotive, Finance, and more.
What to Expect
As per our By-Laws, a Board Member shall hold office for a three-year term so long as they remain eligible under the terms. These terms relatively standard (an individual, 21 years of age or older, not bankrupt, a person who has been found incapable by any court in Canada or beyond). We also ask that every direction in exercising their duty shall:
1. Act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the charity;
2. Exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances; and
3. Comply with the letters patent, the bylaws and any policies adopted by the Board of Directors
If you agree to join the Board, I can send you a copy of our By-Laws as well as our next meeting date (September 22nd). We usually meet via teleconference from 7pm-9pm on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.
