Every well-functioning board needs someone who holds the governance record. You will prepare for and attend all board meetings, recording accurate minutes that capture decisions, motions, votes, and key discussion points. You will maintain GVCCC's official governance records, including the register of directors and members, board resolutions, and the constitution and bylaws. You will ensure required filings with BC Registries are completed on time, and manage board meeting logistics with the Chair and Executive Director, including agendas and pre-read materials. This is a strong entry point to nonprofit governance for someone who wants to learn from the inside. |
