National Board of Directors
YMCA Canada is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors that
oversees national plans and priorities. Associations nominate Board
members, who have frequently served as volunteers on local
Association Boards. This ensures our Board members are well versed
in local issues, challenges and opportunities facing Canada's YMCAs
and YMCA-YWCAs. Directors serve for a three-year term that is
renewed once. Regarding national operations, the President and
Chief Executive Officer of YMCA Canada reports to the National
Board.
National Board's Code of Conduct
All Board of Directors sign YMCA Canada's Code of Conduct, which
involves committing to accountability and good stewardship of
resources, promoting diversity and inclusion in all Board
activities and across the movement, being prepared and informed
about Board issues, exercising due diligence and acting in the best
interest of the YMCA in Canada. Board members agree to ensure
privacy and confidentiality of Board matters and that no conflict
of interest exists during their term. Board members act as YMCA
ambassadors, advocates for the YMCA mission and champions of the
YMCA's philanthropic activities.
