Call for Volunteers - For Board Committees
CLTO is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that is primarily a “governance” body responsible for: safeguarding the mission, vision, and values of the organization, setting its strategic direction, overseeing the provision of its finances, and meeting the needs of its stakeholders.
The Board carries out its responsibilities through its Standing Committees (currently Executive, Governance, Government Relations, Finance and Audit, Real Estate, and Service Excellence) and several Ad Hoc Committees (which are used as needed for specific initiatives/projects). Committees are made up of Board members and other volunteers.
Volunteer members of the Board and its Committees are sought with a variety of experience to achieve the diversity of thought, skills, and stakeholder perspectives needed to fulfill relevant mandates. We are currently seeking volunteers for several Committees, who may have a longer-term interest in serving on the Board of Directors.
