About ISANS' Board of Directors
The ISANS Board of Directors is responsible for providing strategic leadership and direction to the organization. The Board also provides financial and risk oversight to the organization through regular board meetings. All board positions are voluntary and members are elected for 2-year terms renewable for up to 10 years. ISANS’ CEO is also a member of 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.
If you are interested in being a part of our Board, please contact Kan Ie, Senior Executive Administrator, at kie@isans.ca .
