Have you ever considered volunteering on a Board of Directors?

The Princeton Skills Centre is a Non Profit Society that relies on the participation and direction of a Board of Directors.  The board convenes once each quarter in March, June, September & December.  Periodic calls for sessions in between meetings is only as needed. 

The board hires, manages, and evaluates the Manager and approves the hiring and firing of employees at the recommendation of the Manager. 

The board speaks with one voice, not many voices; therefore without a quorum and a majority vote, a formal decision cannot be passed. 

The board does not handle the day-to-day operations of the Society but functions as a policy maker. 

They ensure effective organizational planning, mission and basic values of the Society’s contracts, programs and services.  The Board also serves as a final court of appeals for unresolved issues that may occasionally arise. 

The board approves the major goals/needs and the overall strategic plan of the Society.

The operational focus is employment services & job skills and training.  If this mandate is of interest to you, consider a conversation with the Manager, Sharan Jung to understand the operation and the role of the Board.  If you value training access, the employability of the available workforce, this will be interesting service to you.
