Do you know someone who is interested in the care of those who serve in the ELCIC? If so, then please ask them to consider a position on the GSI Board. The board’s time together provides many stimulating and thoughtful discussions, with a few laughs in between, as well as opportunities for professional development. It’s really a great group of people that has an important mission within the ELCIC.
Currently all the positions are filled, but volunteers can also serve on committees to learn more about the organization and see if being a director is a good fit. Terms will be renewing in September 2025.
Anyone interested should complete a biographical data form and forward it to the GSI office.
