Join the CAUBO Board of Directors
Nominations Now Open!

CAUBO is currently seeking a candidate from a university member institution to serve on its Board of Directors. Members who volunteer to take on leadership and committee roles are vital to helping CAUBO keep a finger on the pulse of the higher education administrative sector. They also help determine and support CAUBO’s strategic priorities and core values.

The CAUBO Board of Directors is composed of eleven to thirteen directors, normally twelve, typically with two directors drawn from each of four regions (the West, Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic, i.e., regional members) with the balance of the directors (members-at-large) elected based on a set of criteria.

Taking into consideration the composition of the current CAUBO Board, including geographic representation, institutional size and skill set, the Board will be accepting nominations to fill the following positions as of September 2025:

• One Board member from Québec open to persons who hold the position of Vice-President, Administration and Finance (or equivalent) at a CAUBO member institution.
• One Board member from the Western region open to persons who hold the position of Vice-President, Administration and Finance (or equivalent) at a large sized CAUBO member institution (> 25,000 student FTEs).

The term is for four years, beginning in September 2025 and ending in September 2029, and is renewable once.

Individuals need not have a high level of experience in the higher education sector.  Their experience at a senior level from other sectors would be considered highly valuable in bringing a new perspective to the Board.

Submission deadline: March 12, 2025
