If you have been a member of CoDev for no fewer than 14 days prior to CoDev's Annual General Meeting (AGM), you are eligible for election to the CoDev's Board of Directors.
In 2023, CoDev's AGM will be held on Wednesday, September 13th at 6pm.
We invite eligible CoDev members to consider applying to the Board. If interested, please complete and submit the Board Candidate Form below.
The application is confidential and certain information is required, should you be elected, to submit to Industry Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency following the AGM.
Statements of Intent provided in the application will be circulated to the General Membership, and candidates will be asked to speak briefly at the AGM. We will also take nominations from the floor at that time.
Board Duties
CoDevelopment Canada is a Vancouver-based CSO that uses a solidarity model to facilitate partnerships between Canadian and Latin American social organizations. The Executive Director serves as the liaison between the Board Executive Committee and the CoDev staff.
CoDev’s Board is a working board that meets once a month (with a July and August recess), and every second meeting is in person in the Vancouver area. The meetings aim to exchange with CoDev staff, discuss projects, establish priorities, set policies, coordinate events and confer on the direction of our organization. The first board meeting will be on September 20, and the second on October 11. The Board of Directors is expected to attend a minimum of 60% of Board meetings.
Board members are expected to participate in one CoDev committee (e.g. Fundraising, Finance, Personnel, etc.), which meets as needed, usually five to six times yearly. Other commitments include participating in Board orientation, workshops, and an annual strategic planning day; assisting with organizing and setting up at CoDev events; conducting various outreach activities at CoDev, Canadian Partner, and community events; and accompanying visiting representatives of Latin American partners.
