Governance and Board of Directors

At the March 19, 2009 Annual General Meeting, a new Governance Model was introduced and adopted.  This new model expanded representation on the Board to 19 pre-determined stakeholder groups and 2 members at large.  Where there are vacancies, the Board will consider a rolling intake over the course of the year to ensure that all interests are represented on the Board.  Should you have any questions regarding the in the Governance model and/or how to get involved, please contact us.
