our board
FTP is governed by a volunteer board of directors comprised of individuals who have a broad range of experience and commitment to ending violence in our community. Their strategic leadership focuses the efforts that support the agency to meet the changing needs of our community, while simultaneously ensuring that FTP’s mission and values are front and centre. Board members, individually and collectively, evaluate their effectiveness and efficiency annually in order to identify areas for growth and development.
New board members are recruited by FTP’s Governance Committee; a committee that is also responsible for reviewing the terms, expertise and diversity reflected in current members, and identifying gaps.
Once a board member is recruited, they are included in the slate of directors put forth for election at FTP’s Annual General Meeting, held each June. New members are given a comprehensive orientation as directed by FTP’s Board Policies and Procedures. Board meetings are held monthly throughout the year and require a five-person quorum for decisions that will affect the operation of the agency.
