Board Chair (Financial Expertise)

kcs Association is looking to fill their Board Chair position with the recent retirement of their Board Chair. Specifically, we are looking for an individual with a passion for serving their community, who has an expertise in financial areas. We are a Matrix Board, and we are looking to fill that financial expertise area.
We meet together once per month, on the third Wednesday, at 12:00 pm. The Board Chair would chair the meeting, as well as be responsible for signing cheques and financial reports as needed. AGM is in May and strategic planning typically occurs for a half day or evening in the Spring. 
Low commitment - 1-2 hours per month and availability to meet with Executive Director to sign.

Governance Style:	
The Board will approach its task in a collegial manner, providing strategic leadership rather than detailed administrative management. The Board seeks to address issues proactively rather than reactively, and support the Executive Director in the operation and development of the organization.  

Roles and Duties:	
The Board is in a position of trusteeship and is necessary for the proper governance and management. Consequently, the Board shall: 

act as the link between the organization and the community 

ensure adherence to written governing policies 

provide financial oversight to ensure that the organization meets its obligations with funders 

A Board member is fully informed on organizational matters and participates in the Board’s deliberations and decisions in matters of policy, finance and in the overall direction of kcs.
