2023 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS TO OCF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The OCF is seeking candidates for our Board of Directors. There are up to three (3) open positions for a two-year term (2023-2025). Information on our nominations process is included in the attached Information Package.

These are exciting times of growth and development for the OCF. Since the last AGM we have:

• Hired our Executive Director

• Created and implemented an independent complaint process and a first-ever Strategic Plan

• Become the officially recognized provincial sport organization for climbing in Ontario.

Our continued success depends on having a strong Board of Directors and other volunteers to support the organization.

We are hoping to build a team with a broad range of combined skills and experience. If you are passionate about sport climbing and would like to help shape the future of competition climbing in Ontario, we ask you to please consider joining the Board.

Applications and any questions should be submitted to the OCF Nominations Committee at: nominations@climbontario.ca.

Application deadline: Wednesday, November 8th, 2023.
