The Treasurer leads the annual audit process by:

  • Meeting at least once annually with the Auditor, and conducting part of the meeting in camera, in the absence of management.
  • Reviewing any Auditor's reports and Management Letters and reporting on them to the Board.
  • Reviewing the Terms of the Audit Letter of Engagement, including the approval of the Audit fees.

  • Knowledge or interest in mental health systems, suicide prevention, or crisis response (personally or professionally) an asset.

How we work together as a Board:

  • We strive to be sensitive to the challenges of our work, tolerant of imperfection, and committed to fostering collaboration, respect, and open communication.
  • We strive to maintain a supportive environment where all board members feel comfortable contributing and having their ideas heard, and all staff feel valued and understood.
  • Kindness first.
