Board of Directors

The Board of Directors consists of ten elected directors and up to four appointed directors; all elected directors must be members of the Association while two of the approinted directors need not be.

Two directors (one representing the not-for-profit sector and one representing the for-profit sector) are elected from each of five regions for a period of three years. The Past President is responsible for calling for nominations at an appropriate time. Elections will be held at the annual general meeting.

The Board may appoint up to four directors to maintain CAEAL corporate experience, to respond to changing needs for representation, and to meet the needs of corporate affiliation. Director positions filled by appointment are for a term of one year or less and terminate at the close of the annual general meeting following their appointment.

The By-Law that governs the operations of the Board is contained in G02 - CAEAL By-Law (.pdf) . Amplification of Board procedures and a listing of the CAEAL Board of Directors and its officers appear in Q09 - Board of Directors. (View Board Member List) The Board operates itself and governs the Association according to G03 - CAEAL Policy Governance Manual.
