Community Member – Board of Governors 

Since 1936, Columbia College has offered quality educational programs, including a University Transfer 
Program fully integrated into the BC Transfer System, an Associate Degree Program certified by the 
Ministry of Advanced Education, a University Preparatory Program, and a High School Program certified 
by the Ministry of Education. Thousands of Canadian and international students have progressed 
through Columbia College's programs to Canadian universities or successful careers. 

In addition, Columbia College operates as a non-profit charity, which means that all of its revenues are 
invested into its educational programs and services and charitable activities. As a secular, non-profit 
Liberal Arts college, Columbia College is unique in Canada! 

The College is governed by a Board of Governors composed of elected employees and volunteer 
community members. The College is currently seeking applications from members of the greater 
Vancouver community to volunteer as a Governor on its Board. The Board of Governors is responsible 
for strategic planning, financial sustainability, and oversight of the College's educational programming 
and operations to ensure its future success. The role of Governor offers significant opportunities to work 
alongside College managers and stakeholders to contribute to the future success of the College, its 
students, and the communities it serves. 

The ideal College Governor candidate would have experience in strategic planning, regulatory 
compliance, board governance, and/or educational or non-profit management. The Governor must 
reside in British Columbia, preferably but not necessarily in the Greater Vancouver area. Most Board 
meetings are held virtually, and travel to the College may be required and paid for once or twice per 
year. 
 
Desired Experience 

• Experience serving in a senior management or governor/trustee capacity at a socially-
responsible business, charitable organization or educational institution. 

• Experience with financial, legal and regulatory compliance in the not-for-profit or charitable 
sector or a business incorporating social responsibility. 

• Experience managing projects and evaluating performance 

• Experience in community relations and/or community or corporate partnerships 

• Experience with budgeting and reviewing financial statements. 

• Experience participating in strategic planning. 
 
Desired Skills &amp; Abilities 

• Graduate of a postsecondary education program, preferably at the Bachelor’s or graduate 
degree level; 

• Demonstrated integrity, accountability and commitment to quality assurance and high 
performance standards; 

• Ability to act with good faith and care, loyal to the institution, and compliant with its mission 
and the law; 

• Ability to engage with a variety of stakeholders and see problems and situations from multiple 
perspectives; 

• Connections to local or community networks (education, corporate, non-profits, charities, or 
otherwise); 



 
 • Ability to empathize with domestic and international students and their families; 

• Negotiation/mediation skills and the ability to prevent and diffuse conflict; 

• Ability to express views in a collegial manner and provide constructive feedback; 

• Willingness to explore and analyze alternatives, collaboratively solve problems, and make 
evidence-based decisions; 

• Willingness and ability to express and demonstrate alignment with Board decisions even if you 
disagree with them and/or voted against them; 

• Ability to commit the time required; 

• No actual or perceived conflicts of interest. 
 
Responsibilities 

• Act in an advisory capacity and provide input into the strategic direction of the College and its 
educational and charitable programming; 

• Provide support, guidance and leadership to the College Principal and executive team; 

• Provide fiduciary oversight of the College's assets, affairs, programs, and institutional 
performance; 

• Make carefully-considered, good-faith decisions in the best interest of the College that are 
consistent with its mission, vision and values, compliant with applicable laws and the College’s 
governing legislation and bylaws, and independent of undue influence from any party or 
interest. 

• Prepare for and attend monthly Board meetings 

• Governors may be asked to serve on Board committees where their skills and experience would 
allow them to make significant and positive contributions. Governors may also have an 
opportunity to serve on working groups established for specific projects. 
 

Notes 

• If you are a former Columbia College employee or student, you are welcome to apply to be an 
external Governor if you severed your relationship with the College at least 24 months ago (i.e., 
before January 2024). 

• Columbia College gathers, works, and studies on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish 
Peoples, including the Musqueam, Squamish, Stó:lÅ, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. We also 
acknowledge all non-status peoples and members of other tribes who live in Vancouver. The 
College is committed to the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion and encourages 
applications from Indigenous Peoples and members of underrepresented groups. 

• This position will start in March 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
