NATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES (2 VOLUNTEER POSITIONS)


POSITION TYPE: Volunteer. Estimated commitment of approximately 4-8 hours per month, including meeting preparation and committee participation.


LOCATION: Flexible, Canada (Primarily remote with 1-2 in-person meetings annually).


POSTING DATE: March 18, 2026


DEADLINE: Open until positions are filled


START DATE: September 2026




The Organization


Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) is Canada’s only national charity dedicated to protecting public land, freshwater and ocean, with a strong presence across the country. For more than 60 years, CPAWS has been a trusted leader in conservation — grounded in science, advocacy, local knowledge and collaboration — working to address the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change.




CPAWS advances the long-term protection of ecologically and culturally significant landscapes and waters, in ways that respect the sovereignty and leadership of Indigenous Nations. We achieve our mission through evidence-based advocacy, public engagement and strong partnerships.




Our vision is bold: permanently protect at least half of Canada’s land, freshwater and ocean to sustain nature and people for generations to come.




Operating on the unceded and unsurrendered lands of the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation, CPAWS works across treaty and unceded territories nationwide. We are committed to justice, equity, diversity and inclusion, and to fostering a safe and welcoming environment for people from diverse backgrounds.




The Role


CPAWS’ National Board of Trustees provides strategic governance oversight rather than operational management. Day-to-day leadership is the responsibility of the National Executive Director and staff. The Board works in partnership with this national team to:



  • Set long-term strategic direction

  • Ensure fiduciary oversight and financial sustainability

  • Monitor organizational performance and risk

  • Oversee and evaluate the National Executive Director

  • Ensure legal, ethical, and policy compliance

  • Safeguard mission alignment and long-term impact




The Opportunity


CPAWS is seeking two new Trustees with the following profiles to join its National Board:




Senior Executive Leader


A current or former CEO, President, Executive Director, or C-suite executive who has led a large, complex, multi-regional or national organization.


Ideal experience includes:



  • Leading growth, transformation, or strategic renewal

  • Oversight of multi-million dollar budgets and enterprise risk

  • Strong board–management partnership experience

  • Public policy, government relations, and/or national stakeholder engagement




Senior Fundraising / Development Leader


A senior development executive with demonstrated success in relationship-building with major donors, foundations and corporate partners.


Ideal experience includes:



  • Major gifts and donor strategy

  • Campaign leadership (capital, endowment, or comprehensive campaigns)

  • Corporate and foundation partnerships

  • Revenue diversification and philanthropic growth strategy (building capacity on the board)

  • Engaging boards in fundraising




Core Assets for Both Positions



  • Commitment to CPAWS’ mission and conservation outcomes

  • Governance experience (non-profit or corporate board experience preferred)

  • Strategic thinking and sound judgment

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

  • Commitment to diversity and Indigenous reconciliation




Application Submission


We encourage applications from all qualified individuals, including applicants from diverse cultures, racialized communities, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and others who contribute to equitable representation and diverse perspectives.




We are committed to an inclusive and barrier-free recruitment process. Please contact info@cpaws.org if you require accommodation at any stage.




Please apply submitting a cover letter and résumé combined into a single PDF titled: “LAST NAME_Board of Trustees”.




We thank all candidates for their interest. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

L’organisation


La Société pour la nature et les parcs du Canada (SNAP CANADA) est le seul organisme caritatif national du Canada dédié à la protection de nos terres publiques, de nos eaux douces et de nos océans, en mettant à profit sa forte présence à travers le pays. Depuis plus de 60 ans, la SNAP CANADA est un chef de file reconnu dans le domaine de la conservation. Notre travail axé sur la science, la sensibilisation, les connaissances locales et la collaboration cherche à contrer la double crise de la perte de biodiversité et du changement climatique.




La SNAP CANADA œuvre à la protection à long terme des terres et des eaux d’importance écologique et culturelle. En travaillant dans le respect de la souveraineté et du leadership des Nations autochtones, nous accomplissons notre mission grâce à un plaidoyer fondé sur des données probantes, à la mobilisation du public et à des partenariats solides.




Notre vision est ambitieuse : protéger de façon permanente au moins la moitié des terres, des eaux douces et des océans du Canada afin d’assurer la survie de la nature et des être humains pour les générations à venir.


Établie sur les terres non cédées et non abandonnées de la Nation algonquine Anishinabe, la SNAP CANADA travaille sur les territoires visés par des traités et non cédés à l’échelle nationale. Nous sommes engagés en faveur de la justice, de l’équité, de la diversité et de l’inclusion, et nous nous efforçons de créer un environnement sûr et accueillant pour les personnes issues de divers horizons.




Le rôle


Le conseil d’administration national de la SNAP CANADA assure la supervision stratégique plutôt que la gestion opérationnelle. La direction des activités quotidiennes relève de la responsabilité du/de la directeur·ice général·e national·e et du personnel. Le conseil d’administration travaille en partenariat avec cette équipe nationale pour :



  • Établir l’orientation stratégique à long terme

  • Assurer la supervision fiduciaire et la viabilité financière

  • Surveiller la performance et les risques de l’organisation

    • Superviser et évaluer le·a directeur·ice général·e national·e



  • Garantir la conformité juridique, éthique et réglementaire

  • Garantir l’alignement sur la mission et l’impact à long terme




L’opportunité


La SNAP CANADA cherche à recruter deux nouvelles personnes présentant les profils suivants pour siéger à son conseil d’administration national:




Cadre supérieur


Une personne qui occupe ou a occupé un poste de PDG, de président, de directeur général ou de cadre supérieur au sein d’une grande organisation complexe et de portée multirégionale ou nationale.


L’expérience idéale comprend :



  • La conduite de projets de croissance, de transformation ou de réorientation stratégique

  • La supervision de budgets de plusieurs millions de dollars et la gestion des risques d’entreprise

  • Une solide expérience en matière de collaboration entre le conseil d’administration et la direction

  • Les politiques publiques, les relations gouvernementales et/ou la mobilisation des parties prenantes au niveau national




Responsable principal de la collecte de fonds/du développement


Une personne qui occupe ou a occupé un poste de cadre supérieur en développement et qui a fait ses preuves dans l’établissement de relations avec d’importants donateurs, des fondations et des entreprises partenaires.


L’expérience idéale comprend :



  • La stratégie en matière de dons majeurs et de relations avec les donateurs

  • La direction de campagnes (campagnes de capitalisation, de dotation ou globales)

  • La gestion de partenariats avec les entreprises et les fondations

  • La stratégie en matière de diversification des revenus et de croissance philanthropique (renforcement des capacités au sein du conseil d’administration)

  • La participation des conseils d’administration dans la collecte de fonds




Compétences essentielles pour les deux postes



  • Adhésion à la mission de la SNAP CANADA et à ses objectifs de conservation

  • Expérience en matière de gouvernance (idéalement au sein d’un conseil d’administration d’une organisation à but non lucratif ou d’une entreprise)

  • Réflexion stratégique et bon jugement

  • Excellentes compétences en communication et en établissement de relations

  • Engagement envers la diversité et la réconciliation avec les peuples autochtones




Soumission des candidatures


Nous encourageons toutes les personnes qualifiées à postuler, indépendamment de leur origine culturelle, de leur appartenance à une communauté racialisée, de leurs capacités physiques, de leur orientations sexuelle, de leur identité ou expression de genre, ainsi que toute autre personne susceptible de contribuer à une représentation équitable et à la diversité des perspectives.




Nous nous engageons à mettre en place un processus de recrutement inclusif et sans obstacle. Veuillez contacter info@cpaws.org si vous avez besoin d’aménagements à n’importe quelle étape.




Veuillez postuler en joignant une lettre de motivation et un CV regroupés dans un seul fichier PDF intitulé : « NOM DE FAMILLE_Conseil d’administration »




Nous remercions toutes les personnes qui auront soumis une candidature. Seules les personnes sélectionnées pour un entretien seront contactées. Les candidatures seront examinées au fur et à mesure.
