Board of Directors

YMCA of Cape Breton

Director / Member

Description

The YMCA is seeking inspired community builders to join our Board of Directors!

The YMCA is seeking a diverse group of applicants for three upcoming openings on our Board of Directors. We are especially interested in applicants with experience in any of the following areas:

Legal, Policy and Compliance, Finance/Risk Management, and Human Resource Management

Additional areas of consideration to assist us in delivering our next strategic plan include experience in impact measurement as well as innovation and technology.

As we serve Unama’ki-Cape Breton Island and Guysborough communities, we welcome applications from across the Island and Guysborough County.

The YMCA is also committed to recruitment of a Board that is reflective of the communities we serve, including consideration of age (especially youth and older adults), ability, gender, race, culture, skill, networks, and societal perspectives. The YMCA of Cape Breton actively promotes Board equity including the development of individuals from equity deserving groups. Women, Black, African-Nova Scotian, Indigenous, and racialized persons, persons with disabilities, 2SLGBTQI+, and anyone from equity seeking groups are strongly encouraged to apply for this position. If you are a member of an equity-deserving group, and wish to identify as such, please note in your application.

Would you like to meet some current Board Members to learn more about this opportunity? We are holding a virtual open house on Monday, March 23rd, at 5:30pm. Email board@cb.ymca.ca to register for this event.
