About Us
Every year, and for some individuals it has been a number of years, the volunteers of the Ottawa Chapter Board set out to provide quality programs for our 500 members. Your board meets once a month for two hours except during July and August. Some positions require considerable additional work while others have quite modest requirements.
Many Board members have found their experience to be very satisfying: they learned about their association, their industry and themselves. If you have not volunteered on the Board before, or if it has been some time since you did, please consider how you might be able to contribute. You could have a light role supporting a Committee Chair and working in the background, or a front line position as a Board member. Just contact one of the Board members for more information.
