Applications are considered annually during the spring.
The Board of Directors for the Edmonton Humane Society is a diverse group who collaboratively contribute to the Society’s commitment to enrich the lives of people and companion animals through animal sheltering, programs and services, and community engagement.
The Board of Directors at EHS is a governance board, with up to a maximum of 15 members. The Board defines the organization’s vision and mission, provides strategic direction, sets priorities and exercises its fiduciary responsibility. The Board delegates responsibility for daily operations and our employees to our CEO.
Directors serve for a two-year term, with the opportunity for re-election for a maximum of three additional terms (eight years in total). The time commitment is approximately 10 to 15 hours a month, and Directors are expected to serve on at least one Board Committee. Directors must be Edmonton and area residents and must become voting members of the Society.
