Requirements of a Board Member
Generally, the Board operates as a governance entity, meaning that it sets high level strategic direction as op-posed to having a direct hand in the day-to-day activities of the operation. Directors should be prepared to attend approximately one meeting every two months in Saskatoon, SK. Directors may also be asked to sit on various committees to provide more direct guidance regarding key association strategic objectives. Board Members are not paid. However, reasonable expenses are reimbursed for travel and meals when attending Board meetings or other sanctioned association business.
