Aurora College is accepting Expressions of Interest to join the Board of Governors.
The Board sets the vision and mission for the institution and ensures Aurora College remains effective, efficient and sustainable.
Under the Aurora College Act, the Board is composed of ten public members, at least five of whom must be Indigenous residents of the Northwest Territories.
The Board is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Aurora College Mandate Agreement, which sets the shared strategic priorities and the scope of activities undertaken by Aurora College.
Competencies include: experience on a board of directors, leadership of large organizations, financial planning, facilities management, post-secondary education, reconciliation, understanding of small and remote communities, northern economic development, northern social development, and knowledge and experience with public policy. Each member does not need to possess all the competencies, but rather may bring one or two competencies.
Aurora College’s governance system includes the Board of Governors, the Research Advisory Council, the Academic Council and the Indigenous Knowledge Holders Council. Together these bodies make decisions and recommendations on strategic direction, the business of the College, academics, and research.
Board members receive an honorarium of $400 per day that they attend business for the board, including travel days. For further information, applicants are encouraged to review the Aurora College Board of Governors Regulations.
