About ISANS' Board of Directors
The ISANS Board of Directors supports the organization in its strategic direction. The Board also offers financial and risk oversight to the organization. All Board positions are voluntary and have a 2-year term, renewable only 3 times. ISANS’ CEO also sits on the Board, as well as a staff-elected staff representative. The Board holds an Annual General Meeting every June, which reviews ISANS financials and program activities, which are both featured in the ISANS Annual Report.
The Board has signed on to the Government of Canada's 50/30 challenge to support diversity, equity, and inclusion.
