Are you interested in being a part of the sustainability initiative within & beyond Concordia? Are you passionate about learning, growing and collaborating on all things sustainable? You’re in the right place! Joining the Board of Directors at Sustainable Concordia is an excellent place to start (or continue) your journey...

Sitting on Sustainable Concordia’s Board of Directors provides a great opportunity to gain valuable skills and experience in community organizing and non-profit work. It is a volunteer position with a minimum commitment of one year. This includes regularly scheduled Board and committee meetings, and offering feedback in decision-making processes. Directors can lean into their interests, or practice new skills by joining committees dedicated to different aspects of SC’s functioning (Finances, Communications & Outreach, Education & Engagement, Human Resources & Governance). The Board of Directors are therefore important to the ongoing success of SC by making big picture decisions, exercising voting rights (modified consensus), and participating in committees.
What does the commitment look like? It is important to note that these commitments span over the year and can be in flux depending on what’s going on and your own capacity.
