The BLPA is looking for a few new directors to join the Board at our next Annual General Meeting which will take place on May 19, 2021. For the term ahead, we are currently searching for individuals who can contribute to the organization with their developed skills in one or more areas such as:

• Financial Management
• Stewardship and Ecological Restoration
• Project Management
• Human Resources

In addition, ideal candidates will have any of the following:

• Passion for Burnaby Lake Regional Park and Nature
• Strong interest in protecting our parks
• Experience working with nonprofit boards

So what does it mean to be on the BLPA Board? 

• This graphic shows the general responsibilities both of the Board as a collective of its Fiduciary duties, and for the individual board member. 
  
• The term is for two years. 
• Additional information can be found in the BLPA’s Constitution & Bylaws in sections 5, 6 and 7.
• The BLPA Board meets on the third Wednesday of each month, 7-9 pm. We are currently meeting by Zoom.
• When we are able to meet in person again, they will take place at the Metro Vancouver Central Area office on Avalon Avenue.
• Additional time spent depends on what else you decide to get involved with such as subcommittees (e.g., governance, stewardship) and/or hands on volunteering with activities such as stewardship and outreach. 

We appreciate our new members providing a valuable fresh perspective on things and new ideas.

Interested candidates are asked to prepare a cover letter and resume outlining their skills and experience related to the position. Both should be submitted with an Expression of Interest form to Manish Kumar, Chair of the Nominating Committee at manish.k.mani (at) gmail.com.

DEADLINE: 5 pm, March 30, 2021.
