Board of Directors

The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery is governed by a Board of Directors of 12-14 members of the community. Directors are elected for three-year terms and confirmed at the Annual General Meeting. Board members may serve up to two consecutive terms. Board members have the overall responsibility for the organization. They provide fiduciary and governance oversight, determine and direct strategic initiatives, select and evaluate the performance of the Executive Director, increase fundraising capacity, and provide linkages to targeted constituencies, based on community contacts and position.
