The Calgary International Film Festival is recruiting Board volunteers responsible for the governance of the organization.

**Responsibilities of the Board**:

- Ensure the organization’s activities align with its established vision, mission and values, and review those from time to time
- Engage in strategic planning and the setting of annual goals and priorities
- Provide support and high level oversight to the Executive Director

**Specific duties of Directors**:

- Prepare for, attend and participate in approximately six board meetings/year, the annual Board retreat and regular committee meetings as assigned
- Participate in at least one standing committee of the Board (Finance, Governance & HR, Strategic Oversight, External Stakeholders) or additional ad hoc committees that may be struck from time to time
- Act as an ambassador for the Calgary International Film Festival in the community
- Regularly attend the Festival and its year-round events
- Make an annual donation in an amount that is personally meaningful and within individual means
- Leverage relationships in the community to help grow the Festival's philanthropic supporters
