CCSA Board Alumni membership is open to all former CCSA Board members (Governor in Council appointees, independent appointees, ex-officio and Chief Executive Officers of the CCSA) who are in good standing with the Board. The CCSA Board Alumni exists to provide a means for the current CCSA Board of Directors to continue to benefit from the expertise, commitment and support of former Board members in a consultative, networking capacity. Board Alumni can also serve as key ambassadors and advocates for CCSA—as requested by the Board itself—and can provide an independent, unbiased sounding board for feedback and advice. The Chair of Alumni is appointed and serves at the pleasure of the Board.
