Volunteer Board of Directors

Ottawa Ontario HB, Montréal, Canada Collage HR Full time

The Vanier Institute of the Family is a national, independent think tank committed to enhancing family wellbeing by making information about families accessible and actionable. Positioned at the centre of networks of researchers, educators, policymakers, and organizations with an interest in families, we share evidence and strengthen the understanding of families in Canada, in all their diversities, to support evidence-informed decisions that promote family wellbeing. Through research, publications, partnerships and collaborations, presentations, and social media, we elevate the national understanding of families in Canada. Our culture is one of respect and inclusivity.

About the role

The twelve unpaid members of the Board of Directors provide oversight of the Vanier Institute in compliance with the requirements of the Government of Canada and aligned with the best practices for charitable organizations as described by Imagine Canada. The Board has three committees that serve as advisors to the Board and the Institute’s Executive Director. Board members are usually expected to serve on one of the committees.

The Board and each of the committees meets for approximately 90 minutes every three months by Microsoft Teams videoconference. The Board of Directors also meets in person annually in Ottawa on the Friday and first Saturday of June, with costs covered by the Vanier Institute. In addition to attendance at all Board and relevant committee meetings, Board members should expect to commit time for advance reading, meeting preparation, and follow-up to meetings as required.

The Vanier Institute will have two vacancies on the Board of Directors in November 2024. Applications or nominations for future appointments are also welcome.

Qualifications and skills

The members of the Vanier Institute Board of Directors reflect the linguistic, geographic, and cultural richness of Canada. The shared quality of all members is a strong commitment to the mission and vision of the Institute.

We welcome applicants from underrepresented communities or those who would expand the diversity of personal and family experiences present on the Board. We also wish to extend our geographic representation and encourage applicants who live outside of the Quebec City to Windsor corridor.

All applicants will be expected to be effective communicators, collaborative, self-aware, and able to make the time commitments required. They shall also be expected to have or be willing to develop knowledge of governance, strategic planning, and risk management for non-profit organizations.

For November 2024, the Vanier Institute is specifically seeking individuals in two areas:

  1. Financial expertise, particularly in financial management or accounting. Fund management and ESG investing experience would also be an asset.
  2. Family program expertise including leadership in a national organization that supports families and/or academic background in Family Science.

Expertise and competencies also identified as important to the Board of Directors for future vacancies include:

  1. Family law or non-profit law
  2. Leadership in a national or provincial organization that supports families
  3. Academic background in family science or a related discipline
  4. Government relations
  5. Communications and marketing
  6. Business and human resource management
  7. Governance of non-profit and charitable organizations

While the Board and its committees operate in English, fluency in French is an asset.

To apply

If you are interested in joining the Board of Directors, please review our website and write a cover letter describing your interest in the Vanier Institute and how you would be able to contribute to its mission and mandate.

You will need to upload both your cover letter and your resume.

Reasonable accommodations to ensure accessibility shall be made at every step of the application process, on a candidate’s request.
