Director of the Board

St James Community Square Society Board Opportunity

The non-profit St James Community Square Society is looking for volunteers who may be interested in becoming a part of the Board of Directors that governs the space at 3214 West 10th Avenue in Vancouver. We like to call ourselves the ’Square’! We are a long-standing popular hub for many community services. With a still 20-year lease secured with the City of Vancouver, we provide lease and rental arrangements to organizations such as the Roque Folk Club, Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra, Phoenix Gymnastics, a Daycare and a Pre-school. We also operate a successful performance hall. We have recently developed a strategic plan for the next 3 years, and would welcome some new energetic folks to help with implementation.

We generally meet every third Thursday of the month, summers excluded. We hope for an initial two-year commitment to assist with enhancing and expanding our already strong Kitsilano presence. Interested parties may prefer to serve on committees rather than on the Board of Directors.

We are recruiting members with some of the following skills and interests:

• Management skills
• Experience building, operating, or maintaining buildings such as ours
• Non-profit governance
• Marketing/communications skills, including social media

Have a look at our website to learn more about St. James. https://www.sjcommunitysquare.org/

Resumes can be sent to the Executive Director, Shirley Kamerling-Roberts at info@sjcommunitysquare.org.

Our current Board Chair, Justin Ho, would be happy to discuss your potential interest in joining our Board. He can be reached at happyxs@gmail.com.

Thank you for considering St James.
