Board of Director Open House/ Information Session
Parent Association Meeting Room
Would you like to learn more about the role of our Board of Directors or are you interested in becoming a member? The CDS Board of Directors is hosting an Open House on Thursday, March 2nd at 4:00 pm in the Parent Association Meeting Room located in the Senior School entrance. Members of the current Board will be on hand to speak with interested parents and prospective Board members in advance of the March Board meeting.
The Board of Directors of The Country Day School is a group of volunteers with diverse interests and fields of expertise who serve the school through participation on the Board and the Standing Committees of the Board. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, this volunteer Board is tasked with overseeing the governance of the school including the oversight of strategy, policy and management.
Members include business and community leaders who are drawn from the larger CDS community including CDS alumni, current or past parents and independent representatives. Each spring the Governance Committee ensures that the Board is appropriately populated to meet the objectives of the coming year and calls for nominations of interested candidates. Directors are selected based on an assessment of the technical skills, experiences and governance capabilities required to advance the interests of the school. New members are elected at the Annual General Meeting in the fall and serve set terms.
Those interested in attending the Board of Director Open House on Thursday, March 2nd, please RSVP to judy.zrnec@cds.on.ca. Should you be interested in pursuing this opportunity, please send the Nomination Form to the attention of the Chair of the Governance Committee, David Myers, in the Senior School Office.
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
