Board of Directors

HomeAbout UsBoard of Directors

Children’s Healthcare Canada is governed by a board comprised of a diverse cohort of leaders from within the children’s health and healthcare community from coast to coast. The Board is served by the work of three committees: an Executive Committee, a Governance Committee, and a Finance Committee. The Board plays an important governance and leadership role, and sets strategic direction for the Association. The board meets regularly, both virtually and face to face. If you are interested in reviewing the Board agendas or meeting minutes, please reach out to info@childrenshealthcarecanada.ca.
