The Canadian Mental Health Association-Sudbury/Manitoulin (CMHA-S/M) is actively seeking new dynamic individuals to compliment the Board of Directors.

CMHA-S/M supports healthy people and communities through advocacy and the provision of safe, inclusive, and accessible community-based mental health and addictions services.

The Board has a responsibility to all the communities within the Sudbury/Manitoulin District and oversees an organization that is French Language designated. In their role, Board Directors oversee the management and direction of local programs, plan and direct policy, channel community input, and provide accountability.

At this time the Board of Directors is seeking applicants with an interest in community-based mental health and addiction services and the ways in which those services are provided in the area. We are a policy governance Board requiring members with a variety of skills and backgrounds to ensure effective and informed decision making. Currently we are looking for individuals with experience in the following areas:

• Project and Risk Management
• Finance
• Fundraising
• Government Relations
