Expression of Interest – Board Committees

The Ontario Nurses’ Association builds strong activism and advocacy efforts by developing leaders at all levels to engage members in collective action. This vital work keeps our union strong at the Provincial, Local and Bargaining Unit levels. We invite you to join with us in improving the quality of work-life for all members, to enable us to provide quality health care.

The ONA constitution allows for the formation of Board of Directors (BOD) committees. The 2018-2019 Governance Review recommended the establishment of three Standing Committees of the Board, which the ONA Board supported.

Finance and Risk
Governance and Nominations
Quality of Service to Members

The creation of these committees would serve a couple of purposes:

to assist the BOD in fulfilling its fiduciary duties and accountabilities while including direct membership input; and
to create a platform for membership involvement, leadership development and succession planning.

These Committees will make recommendations and forward those recommendations to the BOD for its approval. Each Committee and/or Sub-committee would be supported by dedicated staff in consultation with the CEO.

The Board Committees include representation from both the Board and the membership.

If you are interested in becoming a member of any of our Board Committees, please complete the form below.
