Description

For 40 years, The Ottawa Food Bank has been providing fresh, non-perishable food, as well as supplies such as diapers, toiletries, and cleaning supplies to its network of agencies across the city. Our vision: Healthy, accessible, sustainable food for all. Our mission: We work in partnership to create a healthier city by empowering people, increasing access to healthy food, and advocating for systemic changes that reduce food insecurity.
The Board of Directors is currently seeking expressions of interest for Independent Board Member positions for a two-year term beginning January 2023. At least two, and up to three, Board positions are available.
The Board has identified a number of essential and desirable Board Member skills and experience necessary for the Board to carry out its mandate. Descriptions of these skills and experience are attached.
At this time, the Board is particularly interested in applications from candidates with skills and experience in Financial Literacy, Governance, Human Resources, Risk Assessment and Strategic Planning. Formal designations in accounting/audit, risk and governance (e.g. CA and ICD.D) are also of particular interest. Individual candidates need not have all of these skills and experience. It is expected that one or more new Board Members will fill vacancies on the Finance & Audit Committee.

To request additional information or to apply please email your resume or c.v. to [email protected] and indicate how you feel you would contribute to the Board of Directors and what you’re hoping to get out of the experience.
