Strategic Minds Wanted: Nominate CAGP's National Board of Directors

 

The Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP) invites nominations of candidates interested in serving on its National Board of Directors. We are looking for strong leaders and strategic thinkers committed to moving our association forward.

Each year, the members of CAGP elect their Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting of the Association. The Board intends to propose a slate of ten directors for the 2024-25 Board and we are currently seeking nominations for up to two positions to be elected at the virtual AGM on Thursday, May 16, 2024. The term of office for Directors is three (3) years, and Directors may serve two (2) terms.

Selection Criteria

The Governance Committee will consider the following selection criteria when reviewing candidates, with a goal of ensuring a Board comprised of members with diverse skill sets, geographic representation and demographics to address the strategic priorities of the organization.

  • demonstrated leadership ability and experience
  • service on a CAGP local Chapter, a national committee and participation in CAGP activities and programs
  • commitment to working with a generative governance approach, which is forward-looking and focuses on strategic leadership and policy governance
  • professional knowledge and experience
  • enthusiasm and energy to work with a committed team of Board members and a willingness to undertake tasks and projects outside of regular board meetings

In addition to the selection criteria outlined above, we are especially seeking candidates who bring a strong belief in the mission of CAGP as well as experience in strategic planning, are employed in the charitable sector, are bilingual (English/French) and geographically are located in Quebec.

Candidates need not be a current member of CAGP, however, will be required to become a member if elected to the Board.

CAGP aspires to a Board that is diverse and inclusive, and we welcome the unique contributions that all people bring. We invite candidates to self-identify if they are a member of an equity-seeking/equity-deserving group, or bring another specific profile or lived experience. All qualified applicants will receive consideration.
