Governance
Building with accountability
Creative Community Impact Association is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and led by an Executive Director. Together, they help guide the organization's direction, support its growth and ensure that CCIA remains grounded in its mission and values.
Our approach to governance is collaborative and community-minded. As a working Board, our directors contribute their time, knowledge and experience not only to governance and oversight, but also to the hands-on work that helps move CCIA forward.
How We’re Governed
Our Board of Directors provides governance, oversight and strategic direction while actively contributing to the development of CCIA.
As a working Board, we bring a range of professional experience, perspectives and community knowledge to our work. Directors contribute to areas such as financial stewardship, fundraising, partnerships, organizational development and community engagement, while also supporting projects and initiatives that strengthen CCIA's work.
Our governance approach is collaborative, with shared responsibility for helping CCIA grow thoughtfully and sustainably.
Board & Executive Leadership
The Board of Directors and Executive Director have distinct but complementary roles.
The Board provides governance, oversight and strategic direction, while the Executive Director leads the organization's day-to-day operations, including programming, partnerships, administration and organizational development.
Together, we make thoughtful decisions, respond to the needs of our organization and community, and work toward CCIA's long-term sustainability.
Annual General Meeting
We hold an Annual General Meeting each year, providing an opportunity for our members to participate in the governance of the association and learn more about our work.
The AGM also provides an opportunity to review organizational and financial information and conduct the formal business of the association.
Governing Documents
CCIA's governance is guided by its bylaws and organizational policies. Our current bylaws are available upon request.
