Dear AFHTO members,
Are you interested in serving on the AFHTO Board of Directors? The governance committee of AFHTO’s board invites anyone who works within an AFHTO member organization to apply. We are looking for strategic and emerging leaders to help shape the future of interprofessional team-based care in Ontario!
Please share this call for nominations with all who work in your team.
Six (6) positions are to be elected for a 3-year term on the 14-member board. The AFHTO by-laws call for balanced representation on the board to include the various forms of governance, the regions of the province, and the mix of the professions working within FHTs, NPLCs, and other interprofessional models of primary care.
Given the composition of the continuing board members, priority for the directors to be elected will be given to candidates who are:
- Interprofessional health care providers (IHPs), especially those working in mental health and addiction;
- Board members, especially community members in the position of Chair of the Board; or
- Experienced in finance, including accreditation as a financial professional (e.g. CA, CPA, CMA).
To apply:
- Go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2020AFHTOBoardApplication to fill in the nomination form.
- Then e-mail your CV to beth.mackinnon@afhto.ca

- The slate will be presented to the members at the annual general meeting, which is scheduled for:
Thursday, October 8, 2020
