Inviting applications from Canadians with disabilities who wish to serve on Corporate Boards
Main Content
The Canadian Foundation for Physically Disabled Persons is inviting applications from Canadians with disabilities to be considered for appointment to Corporate Boards.
Most Canadian corporations promote diversity and inclusion and yet there is zero representation on their boards from people with disabilities. We are working to change that.
If you have a disability and have strong professional credentials, proven business acumen and significant Board experience, please contact Stéphanie Michaud, Program Lead, Career Support at Stephanie.Michaud@cnib.ca or 514-934-4622 x226.
If you know anyone with a disability, please advise them of the opportunity to participate.
