Board of Directors
In consultation with staff, the Board of Directors handles the work of the CBA. This includes overseeing finances, membership, engagement, advocacy, diversity and the CBA’s overall health. The Board is composed of 14 voting members, including a president and vice-president. The CEO also sits on the Board as a non-voting member. Each of Canada’s provinces and territories is represented on the Board.
The Board of Directors is elected by branch presidents, Section chairs and the Board. Each member serves a two-year term, and member terms are staggered so that only half the Board changes each year.
