Jan 10, 2019

Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons (CPS-ECP) is accepting applications for Director positions from you the members of CPS-ECP, both men and woman.

Successful candidates will be nominated to the Board of Directors at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

The role of a Director is to help manage or supervise the management of the activities and affairs of the Corporation (CPS-ECP), while assisting and determining the direction and operation of CPS-ECP. While many items must remain confidential, the Directors are expected to act in the ‘best interests’ of CPS-ECP and may find conflicts between these ‘best interests’, and the interests of their own Squadron or District.

• Ability to get along and collaborate with others
• Ability to think independently, and not “follow the crowd”,
• Evidence of administrative ability (within CPS-ECP or outside),
• Commitment to CPS-ECP, and passion for the CPS-ECP Vision, Mission and Values,
• Interest in avenues of Education, Membership, Marketing and Communication,
• Enthusiasm, time available,
• Leadership and participation at Squadron and District levels,

• Director’s Application Form,
• A current resumé or curriculum vitae (C.V),
• Skills Self-Assessment questionnaire,
• A ‘Statement of Vision’ of your personal short and long-term future of CPS-ECP.
