Join the Board of Administrators (Deadline Extended)

APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED

The deadline for submitting an application to join the Board of Administrators has been extended to 11:59pm, Wednesday November 15th.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, now’s the time to apply! Without the Board of Administrators, the OVCA’s ability to assist clubs in emergencies is AT RISK.

Please consider volunteering your time to this worthy committee.

The OVCA’s Board of Administrators is looking for up to three (3) volunteers to help clubs and centres in our region.

The OVCA’s Development Fund is a loan program available to all member clubs and centres that provides low-interest loans for capital improvements and emergency capital repairs.

The Board of Administrators is responsible for screening loan requests and providing recommendations to the Board of Directors on whether the applications should be approved. In addition, the Board of Administrators can provide recommendations to the OVCA on the operation of the Fund and its criteria.

The Board of Administrators is looking to fill up to three (3) positions. Each position is for a three year term. The Board of Administrators is a standing committee of the OVCA that meets only when an application is received (typically once or twice a year).

Specifically, the Board of Administrators is looking for candidates with experience/skillsets in: Finance, Law, Risk Management and/or Engineering. The OVCA is committed to building a diverse committee and we encourage those who identify as persons with a disability, persons from visible minority groups, persons who identify as LGTBQ2S+ or non-binary, and indigenous persons to apply.

See our Board of Administrators policy and Development Fund page for more information.
