Board Member (Treasurer, General Members)

Job Description

Fòs Feminista Canada is looking for dedicated, qualified, and passionate individuals to join our Board of Directors. We are seeking candidates for Treasurer and General Member positions who will contribute their skills and lived experiences, guide the overall strategy of the organization and share responsibility for its vision, governance, and financial stewardship.

As a volunteer Board Director, you will participate in amplifying and strengthening the work of Fòs Feminista Canada, as well as offer connections and/or resources to an annual giving target. While this is an unpaid position, Fòs Feminista Canada reimburses all eligible travel expenses in connection with organizational and governance work.

Board Member Commitments and Responsibilities

All Board Directors share a passion for and commitment to upholding sexual and reproductive health and rights, and the ability to articulate Fòs Feminista Canada’s strategy and value. Board Directors make a modest time commitment, with a maximum of 4 meetings each year (historically one in-person in Toronto, the rest virtual), as well as in any extraordinary meetings the Board may convene. Additionally, Board Directors may be called on collectively and individually to share their expertise, leadership, and creativity in the drafting and implementation of organizational strategies and to participate in key organizational events, such as visits and meetings with partners and donors.

Fòs Feminista Canada Board Directors are values-driven individuals who bring a shared commitment to feminist principles, social justice, and collaborative leadership. They demonstrate:

• Interest and/or experience in the vision, mission, values, and strategic direction of Fòs Feminista Canada
• Willingness to share power and build a supportive movement in Canada for sexual and reproductive health and rights
• The ability to apply foresight and innovative thinking to drive progress in an era of rapid change
• Interest in building relationships with diverse stakeholders at all levels

They also bring high levels of integrity, sound judgment, and strong teamwork skills. We are seeking individuals who:

• Have the ability and willingness to work with other Board Directors and the leadership skills to build consensus while navigating varying viewpoints and backgrounds
• Are excellent listeners with solid judgement
• Excel in communication skills and have cultural fluency
• Have a proven track record and reputation for ensuring trust and effectiveness on a team
• Have governance experience in diverse organizations internationally, especially in leadership positions or working with a Board in a senior management role
• Serve as a bridge to expand the organization’s partners and funders landscape, and to serve as a connector to other social movements and social justice actors in Canada

Each member brings a unique set of skills and experiences to the Board. In addition to the above, we are looking for outstanding candidates who have one or more of the following profiles to complement our current Board:

• Big-picture thinkers with broad knowledge of the evolving political, economic, and global public health landscapes
• Strategic connectors with a passion for fundraising—whether through personal giving or by activating strong networks of values-aligned Canadian contacts
• Influential representatives who can strengthen the organization’s standing within the Canadian landscape and build meaningful relationships with key stakeholders

• Experienced in governance and financial management of registered Canadian charities

While we are primarily seeking individuals with the listed skills who are based in Toronto/Greater Toronto Area, we welcome and encourage applications from all who are passionate about Fòs Feminista Canada’s mission.
