About the Role

The Company is seeking dedicated individuals to join its national organization as volunteer Board Members. The successful candidates will be part of a progressive, policy-governed Board of Directors that provides strategic oversight to the organization. The ideal Board Members will have a collaborative and engaging leadership style, with a strong commitment to the vision and mission of the organization, which is focused on reducing barriers for the Deaf and hard of hearing communities. While the positions are voluntary, they are of excellent importance, and the Board Members are expected to bring a diverse range of skills, business competencies,



and community leadership experiences to ensure best-practice governance.

Critical competencies for the Board Members include a financial designation, government relations expertise, experience in the health, social services, or disabilities sector, and/or lived experience for one organization, and experience with private or family foundations, fundraising, granting institutions, and/or oversight of research due diligence for the other. The role requires attendance at four virtual meetings per year and a commitment to the values of the organization. The Company is an equal-opportunity employer and is committed to an inclusive, barrier-free recruitment process. If you are a dynamic individual with a passion for the work of the organization and the ability to contribute to its strategic growth, we encourage you to apply for this meaningful volunteer opportunity.
