QUINTE CONSERVATION FOUNDATION SEEKING BOARD MEMBERS

Belleville, Ont. – The Quinte Conservation Foundation (QCF) is seeking passionate environmentalists to join its Board of Directors.­

Founded in 2012, the QCF is a registered environmental charitable organization with a mission to address the financial challenges associated with protecting and conserving the lands and waters of the Moira, Napanee, and Salmon Rivers, and Prince Edward County.

"We are looking for people who are willing to volunteer and commit their time and skills to the Quinte Conservation Foundation Board of Directors. These individuals should be passionate about protecting and restoring our local environment and be able to assist in achieving the Foundation’s fundraising goals to implement conservation projects,” says Brad McNevin, CAO, Quinte Conservation.

Board members will voluntarily assist in the development of the strategic plan as well as overseeing finances, and policies and procedures, and ensure that the resources entrusted to the QCF further the goals of the Quinte Conservation Authority.

Board members are expected to attend quarterly meetings and participate in QCF events. Board meetings are typically held on a weekday at Quinte Conservation’s main office in Belleville, Ont. and will be scheduled once full membership is established.

Applicants should bring a range of skills and experiences to the QCF Board of Directors, including expertise in not-for-profit governance, strategic planning and visioning, fundraising, community outreach, and other relevant areas.

If you want to make a difference for the Quinte Conservation watershed and have personal and professional experiences that could help the organization, please apply by submitting a resume and covering letter to hr@quinteconservation.ca with the subject line “Foundation Board”.  For more information, visit quinteconservation.ca/foundation.
