Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected from the community at large. The Board consists of up to 14 members each elected for 3-year terms and includes 2-year appointments from Alderville First Nation and Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. The Board is responsible for the overall guidance of the organization in terms of policy development, planning, monitoring of quality and effectiveness, management of the Executive Director and advocacy on behalf of the children served by the organization.

As part of the Board’s overall community engagement strategy aimed at providing the opportunity for public input to Board’s decision making processes and as a method of succession planning, Highland Shores Children’s Aid is committed to recruiting community members to sit on its Service & Administration committee of the Board. Community members are considered active participants with voting privileges at the public Service & Administration committee. Starting out as a community member on this committee is a good way to find out if you would like to be more involved on the Board!

HSCA is committed to providing service and conducting its operations in a manner free from harm, bias and discrimination. This includes the building and sustainment of a Board of Directors that not only furthers this commitment, but also reflects the diverse communities and individuals within our jurisdiction. We encourage applications from all candidates, with particular regard to underrepresented groups.

Applicants must reside in our jurisdiction and should have a passion for serving children, youth, and families. Professional experience in finance, human resources, social services, law, education, EDI (equity, diversity and inclusivity), and services to support people with developmental disabilities or mental health concerns are considered assets, as is lived experience with any equity seeking group.

Board members are provided with ongoing training and learning opportunities to support professional and personal growth.
