Join Our Board of Directors!
We are recruiting new board of directors members at our Annual General Meeting, coming up on Tuesday, November 6th, 6-8pm in the Greenhouse!
Help support sustainable food initiatives on campus and in the community!
• Do you want to know more about sustainable food culture organizing in Montreal?
• Do you want to gain skills in event planning, finance for nonprofits, policy writing, and consensus decisionmaking?
• Do you want to find out how community organizations function?
• Do you want to take an active role in the decision–making that sustains the day-to-day running of The Greenhouse?
The Concordia Greenhouse board is comprised of nine members, with three spots reserved for Concordia students (undergraduate) and six for community members. Being a member of the board means attending monthly board meetings, joining one or more board committees, and taking on additional tasks as necessary throughout the year.
What does being on the Board imply?
Being a member of the Board of Directors (BoD) is an excellent way to be more involved in the shaping of the Greenhouse activities and gain valuable experience working and collaborating within a non-profit organization!
It means you will be responsible for working with other board members and the collective itself to make some decisions about finances, governance, policy and future projects.
Board members are responsible for providing accountability to the vision of the organization, developing long and short term strategic plans and organizational policies and financial oversight, while staff members fulfill the day to day operations and decision-making.
