CASE Board Director - Volunteer

Canadian Association for Supported Employment CASE is a national member association for the supported employment sector. We work with employment service providers, employers, community allies and stakeholders working toward employment inclusion of people experiencing disability. We strive to facilitate full participation in the labour force by offering resources, expertise and support to service providers. Our organization embraces diversity and believes in opportunities for all. Through workforce participation, we promote full citizenship and social inclusion for Canadians who have a disability. Seeking Board Directors Our passionate, diverse, volunteer Governance Board provides support, guidance, and strategic direction to our staff leadership team, that helps to achieve our mission and vision. We are currently seeking supported employment sector professionals, business people engaged in employment of people experiencing disability, and individuals with relevant lived experience, to contribute their expertise, passion and commitment to the CASE Board of Directors. In order to best represent the supported employment sector Canada-wide, we strive for representation on our board from all provinces and territories. At this time, we are in particular need of Board Members who can represent Saskatchewan, The Yukon and The Northwest Territories. Key Responsibilities and Expectations The CASE Board of Directors act as stewards for the association, and work in the best interests of CASE's goals and assets. They operate at a governance level, developing, implementing and monitoring the policies that allow CASE to carry out its mission. They participate in setting and reviewing strategic priorities for the association, and lend their experience and expertise to the board and staff team in their work towards achieving those strategic goals. CASE board members prepare for and attend virtual board meetings by-monthly, virtual committee meetings by-monthly, a virtual annual general meeting, and 2-3 days of in-person strategic planning on an annual basis. All travel expenses associated with attending the in-person strategic planning meetings are paid by CASE. Board members are expected to stay up to date and informed about CASE activities and initiatives, and to raise awareness about CASE and the importance of inclusive employment within their networks. CASE board members are also encouraged to attend the annual CASE Supported Employment Conference. Conference registration is paid for all board members, although costs associated with travel and accommodations for the conference must be paid by the board member or their employer, where appropriate.
