Priorities for Board Recruitment The CCA Board has outlined

All Board members are expected to commit to CCA’s
vision, mission and values, best interests, participate collaboratively and effectively, have general leadership and governance experience, be able to think strategically and focus on outcomes and results, bring a broad understanding of the Canadian health and social support system, and commit the necessary time and effort.

To that end, the CCA is seeking candidates with the following skills and experience:
- Commitment to equity and inclusion
- Strategic and generative thinking mindset
- Not-for-profit financial oversight experience
- Quality improvement and/or accreditation knowledge and experience
- Organizational risk management

- First Nations, Inuit or Métis peoples
- Francophone candidates
- Persons from racialized communities
- Persons with disabilities
- Persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions
- Other equity-deserving groups
- Persons residing outside of Ontario
Please note that the Board conducts its meetings and business in English. Candidates must therefore be fluent in English, both orally and in writing.
