Victoria, Canada Beacon Community Services Full time

**JOIN THE BEACON BOARD OF DIRECTORS**

**THIS IS AN UNPAID VOLUNTEER POSITION**

Beacon Community Services is a community-based charity that provides support to thousands of people on Southern Vancouver Island and outer Gulf Islands. It offers a wide range of programs and services, including family support, counselling, training & employment, seniors’ services, housing and volunteer services.

**Board of Directors Overview**

Regular Board meetings are 6-7 times a year (currently on a Thursday evening) in addition to a full-day retreat once a year.

Board Directors also sit on a minimum of two standing committees. Each committee typically meets 4-6 times a year, depending on the committee’s formal terms of reference and business requirements. Meetings will be more frequent if business issues arise.

Current committees (in addition to the Executive Committee and the Nominating Committee) are:

- Finance and Audit
- People and Culture
- Governance
- Quality Assurance and Improvement
- Real Estate

In addition to standing committees, the Board can create working groups or task groups to focus on specific issues. These committees include Board members.

**Terms of Office**

Directors are elected by the Society’s membership to serve for a 3-year term. A Director can serve a maximum of 2 consecutive terms.

Directors must have and maintain membership in Beacon Community Services (Beacon Community Association) at the time of their formal nomination and throughout their Board service. Directors serve on an unpaid, volunteer basis.

Beacon provides access to various relevant, professional interest and development opportunities, including paid membership in the Institute of Corporate Directors.

**Nominations Process**
- Experience/background in the following areas are of particular interest: real estate development and/or management; business operations and/or management; law; public service (e.g., provincial or federal); fundraising, health care services; youth services; and Beacon volunteer experience.
- The Nominations Committee will finalize a ‘slate’ of nominees to be presented and elected by the Society’s membership at the Annual General Meeting.
