What We Do
The Southwestern Ontario Military Family Resource Centre is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, with a mandate of majority military family member representation, which reports through a governance and oversight structure to the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services Branch (CFMWS) through Military Family Services (MFS).
Board members are elected by the Community. We assess local needs, in order to avoid duplication of community services and resources, while determining priorities, providing leadership, and ensuring the mandated delivery of the national Military Family Services Program. The Board of Directors provides governance and oversight through the lens of proper support for our families, helping the Executive Director in setting strategic direction and guiding implementation of activities and programming.
Membership
In accordance with the requirements of the Military Family Services Program and the by-laws of the Southwestern Ontario Military Family Resource Centre, the Board of Directors consists of a minimum of 51% military family members.
We're recruiting committed, energetic, and experienced family member volunteers to assume vacant positions on our Board of Directors.
We meet virtually the third Monday of each month at 5:30pm.
