Dec 6, 2018

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

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.

• 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,

• Skills Self-Assessment questionnaire,
• A ‘Statement of Vision’ of your personal short and long-term future of CPS-ECP.
