CARFAC SASK welcomes Applications/Nominations for Board of Directors

CARFAC SASK is led by an elected Board of Directors, comprised of volunteers who are practising artists and/or arts workers from across the province. In close consultation with staff, they develop policies and priorities to guide the operations of the organization. The Board plays a critical role in governance and strategic planning, using CARFAC SASK’s mandate and accumulated research and community input to direct our vision for the future. Board meetings occur 4 to 6 times per year with occasional committee participation as needed.

The election of the Board of Directors takes place at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) usually held in November. Members, staff, and the current board can nominate Board Members. Nominations are requested at least 14 days in advance of the AGM. In order to stand for election you must be a current member of CARFAC SASK at the time of the AGM.

The directors may appoint a member to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors; this position must be filled by nomination and election at the next Annual General Meeting

Please email an expression of interest to Wendy Nelson (director.sask@carfac.ca) with your current CV, a short bio, and a few words outlining your interest and understanding of CARFAC SASK and its initiatives, and what you feel you can contribute to the organization.

If you have questions, please email Wendy Nelson (director.sask@carfac.ca). Please note that staff are often working remotely and are most easily contacted through email.
