Gender Equity in Media Society Vancouver (GEMS) - previously named Women in Film and Television Vancouver (WIFTV) - is a member-based organization committed to advancing gender equity in film and television. The GEMS Board of Directors is seeking established professionals and strategic leaders to join our governance board!

As a governing body, the Board provides high-level operational direction, fiscal stewardship, and legal oversight to ensure the organization’s long-term sustainability and accountability to the community we serve.

We are actively looking to diversify our governance team by recruiting strategic thinkers from within and outside the film and television industry. If you want to apply your professional expertise to shape the future of GEMS and support creatives in film and TV, we encourage expressions of interest from individuals with backgrounds in:

• Non-profit governance, policy, or law;
• HR, staff management, or community building;
• Corporate fundraising, accounting, or financial oversight;
• Project/event management, social media, or advocacy.

Our Commitment to You—And Your Commitment to GEMS

This is an exciting and active leadership commitment that puts you within a network of creative and engaged professionals. This including opportunities for networking, creative community and social meetups, skill development, and meaningful civic involvement! To ensure our board remains impactful and engaged, prospective members should realistically expect to dedicate approximately 10 - 12 hours per month to GEMS. This 1–2-year commitment includes:

• Monthly Governance: Preparing for and attending a 2-hour monthly board meeting via Zoom or in person.
• Active Oversight: Devoting several hours each month to ongoing strategic planning, operational review, and committee work.
• Responsive Leadership: Maintaining reliable, prompt email communication to ensure timely decision-making between meetings.
• Flexibility: Attending the occasional meeting or organizational event as needed.

Are you short on time but still interested in contributing your expertise?

We know how packed professional schedules can be! If you cannot commit to a full Board member role as described above, we also offer Micro Volunteer Opportunities. These are short-term, project-specific tasks — such as advising on a contract, strategic plan, or financial audit, or designing high impact social media posts — that allow you to lend your specialized skills in a single, high-impact "burst" of expertise without an ongoing time commitment.

How to Apply

If you are ready to invest your time and expertise to sustain and grow our vibrant community, we want to hear from you! We are recruiting in advance of our next Annual General Meeting (AGM) in September 2026.

Please email boardofdirectors@gemsvancouver.org with:

1. Your resume/CV.
2. A brief introduction detailing your interest in the role, including any previous Board governance experience.

3. A short summary of the specific leadership skills and strategic vision you will bring to the Board.
