REACH is looking for community members to serve on our Board of Directors. Could this be you?

We are looking for members of the Grandview-Woodlands community with the passion, time, energy and dedication to serve as a volunteer Board Director. As an organization committed to reconciliation, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, we encourage members of equity-seeking groups to put their names forward. We’re actively recruiting candidates in advance of our next Annual General Meeting (September 2022).

We’re looking for you, if you….

Believe that community health belongs in community hands
Believe that all people, regardless of gender, race, ability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or age should have access to an appropriate and wide range of integrated health and social services
Understand the value of community health centres as a model of primary care
Are looking for a way to give back to your local community and neighbors
Have the time to attend regular meetings
Live or work in Grandview Woodlands, or use one of REACH’s programs

Please note that you do not need to have experience in the healthcare sector in order to sit on the REACH Board – this is common misconception!

If you’re interested, please reach out to Emma Macklem, Co-Chair of the Nominating Committee mack.emm@gmail.com for more information.
