The Pillar Nonprofit Network Community Advisory Panel is actively seeking a diverse group candidates who understand Pillar’s role in advocating for and supporting the nonprofit and broader social impact sector toward social and economic recovery. We are encouraging submissions from people who are Indigenous, racialized, LGBT2Q+, women, persons with disabilities, and other overlooked and underestimated groups.

The Board of Directors at Pillar ensures our members continue to be placed first in all that we do by creating a long-term sustainable plan, maintaining effective risk oversight, supporting world-class governance, and engaging leadership to lead dedicated staff teams. The Board's mandate includes the overall responsibility and authority for the strategic direction of the organization, including leadership, stewardship, corporate governance, and monitoring performance.

2023 Director Positions
There are nine positions open for election subject to by-law change at the AGM. With a new Board being elected the advisory panel recognizes that Pillar needs to move to an annual cycle that will see director vacancies each year. For the 2023 election cycle the advisory panel will be seeking three directors that will agree to one-year terms as transition directors. This will ensure that in 2024 there are three director vacancies. This way we can place the new Board on a path of renewal when terms expire, and allow for an election each year going forward. As such the advisory panel is seeking:

• Three directors seeking a one-year term to ensure vacancies for 2024 AGM
• Six directors seeking a two-year term according to the by-laws.
