Directors at The Family Place serve a 3-year term, where possible. After three years, Directors are eligible for re-election. Typically, a term runs from July (at The Family Place's Annual General Meeting) through June of each subsequent year.

We are always looking for diverse expertise to strengthen our Board. Currently, we are especially in need of individuals with experience in financial management, legal expertise, sustainability, and development; however, anyone passionate about our mission and willing to contribute their skills is encouraged to apply!

Our Board meetings are typically held at our main facility in Mount Albert, Ontario. However, we sometimes utilize virtual platforms for flexibility and convenience.

No, you don't have to reside in Mount Albert specifically. However, we do prefer if you're from East Gwillimbury or nearby regions. Familiarity with the local context is an asset, but we equally appreciate a range of viewpoints and backgrounds. Your commitment to attending meetings and upholding your duties is paramount, regardless of where you're based.

No, the position of a Director at The Family Place is voluntary. Our Directors generously donate their time and expertise to further our mission.

Absolutely! We encourage our Directors to be actively involved in our events. Your participation not only shows your commitment but also provides a unique opportunity to engage with our community firsthand.

While we don't require Directors to have a specific background, we do value diverse experiences and skills that can help further our mission. Our current skill focus is on Government/Public Sector Relations, Legal Expertise, Governance/Board Experience, and Marketing/Social Media Management.

With that being said, whether you're a parent, educator, community leader, or just someone passionate about our cause, your perspective is valuable.
