Governance
The Creative Community Impact Association is led by a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors focused on fostering inclusive and vibrant creative communities across Canada. Founder and Executive Director Jacquelyn Miccolis manages day-to-day operations and oversees the planning and delivery of programs, ensuring that every initiative advances CCIA’s mission and generates meaningful, lasting impact.
Our Board
CCIA is proud to announce that our inaugural Board of Directors is now active. Following our first meeting in September 2025, the Board is officially providing the strategic guidance, oversight, and support needed to help the organization grow, thrive, and maximize its impact.
Meetings
The Board meets on a quarterly basis to ensure strong governance and momentum. Looking ahead, our first Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place one year from launch, where we will review progress, share updates with the community, and conduct formal board elections.
Bylaws and Policies
As a federally incorporated nonprofit, CCIA is governed by official bylaws that were formally adopted at our inaugural Board meeting in September 2025. These bylaws establish the framework for how we operate, make decisions, and remain accountable to our community.
In addition to our bylaws, CCIA is guided by a set of policies that reflect our values and support strong governance. These include standards on conflict of interest, code of conduct, and diversity and inclusion, which help ensure integrity, transparency, and inclusivity in everything we do.
Elections and Terms
Our inaugural Board members will serve until the first AGM, when formal elections will take place. Should a Board member step down or be unable to continue before then, a new director may be appointed in line with our bylaws to serve the remainder of the term.
Transparency and Accountability
Accountability is at the heart of our governance. After each AGM, annual financial statements will be published on our website and made available upon request. We will also share regular updates, reports, and opportunities for community engagement, so our supporters can see the real impact of their involvement.
Accessibility
CCIA is committed to making our website, programs, and events as accessible as possible. If you require support or have ideas for improvement, please contact us at info@creativecommunityimpact.ca.
Diversity and Inclusion
We believe that diverse voices and inclusive communities are essential to a thriving creative ecosystem. CCIA is dedicated to fostering an environment that respects and celebrates differences in culture, background, identity, and experience. This commitment is reflected in our Board, policies, and programming as we continue to grow.
