Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Nova Scotia SPCA is comprised of a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, six to twelve Directors-at-Large and ten branch representatives from across the province. Elected members serve for a term of two years following election by the Society’s membership at an Annual General Meeting (AGM), or following election by the Board between AGMs. The Board also includes three appointed (non-elected) representatives from the Nova Scotia Veterinary Medical Association, Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture and Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources.

The Board meets monthly to discuss issues related to animal cruelty investigations, finances and fundraising, educational initiatives, public relations, branch developments and the operation of the Metro Shelter, which also falls under the responsibility of the Nova Scotia SPCA.

Many Board members fill specific roles such as chairing a committee. There are several committees under the provincial Board: Advocacy, Education, Finance, Fundraising, Human Resources, Investigations, Membership, Metro Shelter Management, and Policy.

When vacancies are available on the Board, a call for applications is posted here. Currently the Board is not seeking any new applicants as a call for candidates for election at the April 25, 2009, AGM closed on April 9, 2009.
