Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the legal authority for the MFRC and is responsible to the Military Community. As a member of this volunteer Board, a Director is a trustee for the community and is responsible for the effective governance of the organization. Members of the Board provide guidance, support and direction to the Executive Director to set overall policy and establish long-term goals of the MFRC. Volunteer positions on the Board are often available throughout the year.

The Board of Directors is comprised of 51% military spouses, and the balance is to be from the military and civilian community. In addition, several ex-officio positions (non-voting) are appointed for their expertise. Volunteers who wish to be part of the Board of Directors need only to have an interest in the work of the MFRC and be willing to participate in monthly meetings to discuss current and ongoing issues relating to the MFRC. As a member of the Board, you will set policies that are in line with our mission and vision, and that of the national Military Family Services Program (MFSP). As well, as a Board member you will have a voice in how services are delivered in your community through the resource centre.
