Position / Responsibilities / Requirements

The Board of Directors is the legal authority for the Agency, and therefore Directors share the Board’s collective legal and fiduciary responsibilities, in being responsible for the effective governance of the organization. Lumenus is seeking Board candidates with executive level leadership experience, current or past governance experience in the private or the public sectors, and who understand complex organizations. Lumenus is also looking to enhance the cultural and gender diversity composition of the Board to reflect the increasing diversity of the communities served. There is at present a need for a Board Director with specific expertise in government relations, financial oversight, risk management, and fundraising, and Committee Members with expertise in human resource strategy development and digital transformation.
