The Executive and Board of Directors consists of positions filled by volunteer members who are elected at our Annual General Meeting in November. Board members generally serve for two consecutive years. 

Board meetings are held one week prior to Membership meetings. (September to June) Meetings are scheduled in person and on occasion by zoom calls for approximately 2 hours.
