Volunteer Board of Directors
Community Development Halton ("CDH") is a nonprofit charitable organization that provides a range of services and programs in two program areas: social planning and a volunteer centre, in the Regional Municipality of Halton.
It has a volunteer Board of Directors (the "Board"). Directors are elected at the Annual Meeting of CDH that is typically held in September of each year and members serve a 3 year term ending at the Annual Meeting of the third year following election. Directors may serve a maximum of three consecutive three year terms. Directors can also be appointed by the Board to serve for a period between annual meetings but must be elected at the next Annual Meeting if they are to serve beyond the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors meets monthly, on the first Monday of the month, except in July and August. Ad hoc committee meetings would be in addition to this. The time commitment of a Director of CDH is approximately 60-70 hours per year.
Social Planning program provides information helping a community take stock, to appraise its integral strengths and weaknesses, and to rationally and efficiently determine what adjustments should be made to meet the situation.
Volunteer Halton program serves the entire Halton Region as an advocate and catalyst for volunteerism; providing leadership and support for volunteer efforts to build the capacity of the community.
CDH Directors, therefore, must be prepared to make a contribution to the community in a somewhat abstract and indirect way, since we are not a service delivery organization. A Director must be comfortable in an environment that addresses the importance of building a strong civic foundation of care and support in our community.
Directors will provide leadership and are expected to do the necessary preparation before meetings and to participate actively in meetings and related subcommittees.
