Board of Directors
Board Structure
The affairs of the CSA are managed by a Board of Directors of up to 37 persons composed of elected and appointed members.
The composition of the Board includes CSA Executive and Directors. The CSA Executive is comprised of 4 positions, and the Directors include members in the following categories: 16 At-Large College representatives (elected, two per college), seven College government representatives (appointed), and ten student organization representatives (appointed).
The CSA Board of Directors usually meets on alternate weeks to discuss important issues facing students and how to address them. Board meetings are open to the public.
The Board is supported by non-voting CSA staff including the Board Chair, Policy & Transition Coordinator, and Scribe.
More information on the Board of Directors and other CSA policies and bylaws are found here.
Board of Directors
Each Board member works within the CSA’s welfare, image, and mandate, to defend and protect the rights and interests of students. Board members assume the fiscal and moral responsibilities of being a Director or an Executive Officer for a not-for-profit corporation. They are prepared and informed, ready to participate in all major decisions made by the organization.
Directors have a huge influence across campus and beyond, making decisions that affect the quality and type of services, events and campaigns (e.g. tuition fees, anti-oppression, etc.) offered by the student association. Directors also help to shape and build the student movement.
