About This Opportunity
The Prairie Places Board meets monthly, early evening, from September to June. We create policy for the organization, keep in communication with the day-to-day work of the agency through the executive director and monitor its financial status. Email communication is used as necessary.
People skills such as listening and communication are an asset. Management, financial or legal experience is an asset. A positive attitude towards and acceptance of individuals with disabilities is essential. Respect for established channels of decision-making is necessary.
Some experience on a Board of Directors would be beneficial but not mandatory.
You will gain experience in meeting management; networking within the community; enhancement of knowledge and awareness of the challenges of individuals with special needs; personal satisfaction and the knowledge of having contributed positively the greater good of the Winnipeg community.
