Board of Director Job Posting 
Acknowledging land, past truths, current commitments and accountable futures. 

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we honour and acknowledge that our work occurs across 
Turtle Island (North America) has been home since time immemorial to the ancestors of First Nations, 
Métis, and Inuit Peoples. We recognize that, in this territory, Indigenous rights holders have endured

failure of non-Indigenous treaty people to hold up their responsibilities.

generations past — and those of us who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these 
lands as a result of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and enslavement. We pay tribute to ancestors of 
African origin and descent and thank them for their contributions towards transforming systems in ways 
that promote everyone’s sense of belonging and safety.

About Tamarack 

Tamarack Institute for Community Engagement works to end poverty in all of its forms - economic 
poverty but also the poverty of our connection to other living things and to one another. We support 
people to develop the skills, mindsets and networks to collaborate for systems change. We support 
place-based collaborations to impact community-driven dimensions of poverty (e.g. youth 
employment, climate poverty, belonging) at a whole-of-community scale. We take what we learn 
from people and places to contribute to public policy and narrative change. We have seen that local 
communities / place-based collaboration impact outcomes at the local scale and are important 
aspects of change approaches at other scales. 
 
Over the next three years, the Board will champion the role of place-based collaboration both for how 
it reduces economic poverty, climate poverty, loneliness, polarization, unemployment and other 
outcomes across entire municipalities and region AND for how it contributes to all other approaches 
to social change. The Board will help us identify and explore new revenue models and to grow our 
social enterprise. The Board will support our work to work with communities to evolve and move 
forward a public policy and narrative agenda that enables communities' contributions. The Board will 
champion our explicit commitments to equity, anti-racism, and reconciliation.
