join our volunteer board of directors

Monthly Board Meeting

REACH is looking for community members to serve on our Board of Directors.

Could this be you?

  • Position: Board Director

  • Location: Grandview-Woodlands (Commercial Drive)

  • Time commitment: 5 hours/month on average

We welcome all members of our community and as an organization committed to reconciliation, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, we especially encourage members of equity-seeking groups to put their names forward. We’re actively recruiting candidates in advance of our next Annual General Meeting in September.

We’re looking for you, if you….

  • Believe that community health belongs in community hands

  • Believe that all people, regardless of gender, race, ability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or age should have access to an appropriate and wide range of integrated health and social services

  • Understand the value of community health centres as a model of primary care

  • Are looking for a way to give back to your local community and neighbors

  • Have the time to attend regular meetings

  • Live or work in Grandview Woodlands, or use one of REACH’s programs

  • Non-profit governance and/or finance experience would be a bonus!

 

Please note that you do not need to have experience in the healthcare sector in order to sit on the REACH Board – this is common misconception!

If you’re interested, please reach out to Emma Macklem, Chair of the Nominating Committee (mack.emm@gmail.com) for more information.
