There are various roles you can be involved in that do not require you to go in the field—though you are more than welcome to be both a searcher and involved in a supporting role. If you are interested in getting involved in any of the supporting roles, please contact us.
Board of Directors
Each June, at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), YKSAR elects a Board of Directors for the next year. Below is a summary of the roles and responsibilities.
- The Board provides governance, strategic direction, and financial oversight to ensure the organization fulfills its mission effectively.
- Each position is subject to election at the Annual General Meeting.
- Board Members serve for a term of one year.
- Board Members may serve for multiple terms.
- Board Members often serve in other capacities in the organization (e.g., Board Member and Search Manager), but this is not required.
- Board meetings are usually held once a month, up to two hours long, plus one or two hours a month for other contributions (e.g., preparing or  reviewing materials for board meetings)
- In addition, the President, Treasurer, and Secretary may need to contribute up to 10 hours a month, depending on the required workload.
Financial Reports Annual Reviewers
YKSAR bylaws require that the financials be reviewed by two members annually. These volunteers would be responsible for:
- Reviewing financial records (receipts, invoices, cheque stubs, bank reconciliations)
- Reviewing financial reports (balance sheet, income statement)
- Providing an independent opinion of the financial reports
YKSAR does not have a large volume of expenditures annually so the time commitment is expected to be approximately five hours.
Bingo Workers
Being a non-profit organization, we provide workers for Tree of Peace bingo events, with renumeration being provided to YKSAR for services rendered.
- No experience necessary
- Non-YKSAR members are welcome
- Must be comfortable handling cash
