e4c Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is a volunteer-based Strategic Governance board, consisting of 18 Directors, who are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) for a two or three year term, with the option for re-election, up to a maximum of nine years on the Board. At e4c, the CEO and the Board Chair are jointly responsible for strategic planning. All Board Members are involved in the strategic thinking and decision-making that informs our strategic plan. The Board of Directors brings an outside perspective, tests the consistency of management's thinking, provides review and approval of major decisions, approves the strategic plan, and monitors the progress of key initiatives and the achievement of strategic objectives and outcomes. Board meetings are held the fourth Thursday of the month from 5:30 - 7:30 PM. Most meetings are in person, with some virtual meetings. Additional duties include Committee meetings monthly or every other month (committee dependent). Additional commitments include but are not limited to community events, workshops, forums, trainings, conferences, and/or professional development opportunities. A Director’s time commitment is approximately four (4) hours per month. Please see our website for more information: https://e4calberta.org/volunteer/
