Opportunity Description:

The North Shore Stroke Recovery Centre (NSSRC) is currently seeking new volunteer Board Members for a two-year renewable term beginning in 2022.

At the NSSRC, we envision a future without barriers for survivors of stroke.  Since 1974, our team has worked on the organization’s mission to maximize the quality of life for people impacted by stroke through accessible programming, peer support and healthcare partnerships.  We are the only community-based program that supports stroke recovery for North & West Vancouver and Sea-to-Sky corridor residents, operating 4 days of therapy and support programming per week.

The NSSRC Board is responsible for strategic planning, financial oversight, risk management and overall governance of the organization. It is made up of community members committed to continuing the work and support provided by the Centre. We are currently seeking new Board Members with experience or interest in the following areas:

Fundraising
Event planning
Marketing and communications
Information technology (including website and social media management)

 

A board member will typically spend 5-10 hours per month on the Board’s business, including attendance at monthly Board meetings (September through June)

At the NSSRC, we seek to work with individuals of diverse characteristics, backgrounds and perspectives. We strongly believe that passion and talent makes no distinctions based on gender, ethnic or national origin, sexual identity and orientation, age, religion or disability, but enriches itself through these differences.
