The Hamilton Conservation Foundation is seeking dedicated individuals to join our Board of Directors. As a member of our Board, you will play a key role in helping preserve and enhance our region’s natural landscapes and cultural heritage. The Foundation raises funds to support the Hamilton Conservation Authority's vital work in water management, conservation, and education, and we work closely to protect over 11,000 acres of land and 175 km of trails for the community to enjoy.

Directors are expected to attend 8 Board meetings per year, join at least one Board Committee and attend committee meetings (usually quarterly or as needed), and also to participate in the life of the organization in between Board meetings, including attending Foundation events. Board and Committee meetings are typically held on weekday evenings, in Ancaster, Ontario.

We expect that different candidates will bring a range of skills and experience to the Hamilton Conservation Foundation Board, including, but not limited to those skills listed below. Prospective candidates for the Board will be considered based on equal weighting of the following criteria:

• Fit with the organizational Mission and belief in conservation;
• Alignment of experience and influence that represents value added to champion our strategic goals;
• Goal of increased cultural diversity and gender balance to reflect our community.

Term of Office:

The duration of term is for a period of 4 years and may renewed for up to 4 additional 1-year terms, up to 8 years of service in total.
