We are seeking a qualified individual to join our Board of Directors. Ideal candidates will bring a strategic, governance-focused approach to their roles, demonstrating a commitment to proactive consumer protection, excellence in participation, and a willingness to support the HCRA’s statutory mandate, mission, vision, and values.

In this recruitment, the Board is particularly interested in candidates who bring knowledge and experience in one or more of the following priority areas:

• Governance: Expertise and knowledge of board governance best practices such as fiduciary duties, policy development, executive oversight, risk management and regulatory or not-for-profit governance frameworks.

Candidates who bring strength in more than one of these areas are especially encouraged to apply.

In addition to these priority competencies, we welcome individuals with a broad spectrum of knowledge and experience in areas such as risk management, strategic planning, licensing, and regulatory sectors, to complement the existing strengths of our Board.
