CLH Developmental Support Services
Board Of Directors
Meet the Board of Directors
The CLH Developmental Support Services Board of Directors is responsible for the governance and accountability of the Association. Among their responsibilities are to establish the agency’s vision, mission, services principles, strategic priorities, and overall direction, and to monitor progress as well as compliance with relevant legislation.
Directors bring personal skills or knowledge in such areas as finance, law, fundraising, public relations, advocacy, banking, health, or education to CLH Developmental Support Services. Some also bring the knowledge and perspective of a parent or other family member of the people we support.
Our Directors help to build an inclusive community that embraces children, youth, and adults with developmental support needs and their families. We work with staff, other volunteers, and community partners towards goals that will help improve the quality of life of the people we support.
Directors attend Board meetings, which are held monthly (September to June), and an Annual General Meeting.
