Ontario Football Seeks to Nominate Three New Members to the Organization’s Board of Directors

 

Hamilton, Ontario - Ontario Football calls for nominations for three positions to be filled on the organization's volunteer Board of Directors. No football experience is required but a passion for the game is considered a strong asset. The term length for each of the three positions on the Board is two years.

 

The Nominations Committee is seeking qualified candidates to play a role in the stewardship of the organization that reflects the organization’s values such as excellence, innovation, alignment, growth, inclusion, and community.

 

Directors of Ontario Football commit themselves to ethical, business-like and lawful conduct, including proper use of authority and decorum when acting as a Board member. Directors must also be able to represent unconflicted loyalty to the interests of Ontario Football and all of its subsequent members.

 

Ontario Football is actively committed to equity and the principles of diversity and inclusion and invites applications from all qualified candidates. Women, men, Indigenous peoples, members of visible minorities or racialized groups, people with disabilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) are encouraged to apply.

 

Directors will be chosen based upon their demonstrated ability to contribute significantly to the leadership of Ontario Football and to fulfill their statutory fiduciary responsibilities. The core competencies and characteristics that ideally will be reflected in the Board as a whole are:
