Application to the GPC Fund Board

The Green Party of Canada (GPC) Fund is the operations arm and Chief Agent of the party (similar to the official agent of a campaign). The Fund board of directors oversees the legal, labour relations, and financial work of the party, ensuring that contracts are legal and proper, the budget is being followed, and the annual financial audit is complete.

Fund board members must be members of the GPC and willing to volunteer 12 - 20 hours per month for online Fund Board meetings, committee meetings, meetings with the ED, data analysis, reviewing and providing input to financial reports reporting, report writing, creating presentations, and other projects in between meetings.

All applications will be held for a duration of one year and be available to all Fund officers and members (i.e. Councillors). Data will not be used for any other purpose than for the board application process and will be handled securely, respecting our data privacy policy.

Important Disclaimer: The GPC Fund Board does not have Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance at this time. Our policy ended in 2021 (the insurer was getting out of the D&O space) and we have not been able to find a company able to provide us a cost-effective policy. Our goal as the Fund Board is to provide sound financial management to avoid insolvency, reduce liability, and get the party back on track so that we will be able to get a D&O insurance policy. We are being open and transparent about the Fund’s situation so that all applicants are aware of the additional risk they will be accepting as Fund board members. *

Yes, I understand and accept the risks of being uninsured

No, I do not accept the risks
