Executive & Committees
Representation and duties
The CSHS advocates a pan-Canadian representation
on its board of directors. Terms are for 2 years with the
possibility of 2 consecutive terms at the same position. While we
practice a progression within the board, our members are encouraged
to submit their candidacy to any position available.
