🌟 Join LIA's Board of Directors! 

Are you ready to learn and/or share your skills in NPO governance? Do you want to help us make sure that we have a representative board of directors that considers the realities, needs and interests of the various English-speaking communities throughout the Estrie region of the Eastern Townships? Do you have a heart for education and a passion for literacy? Are you interested in learning and growing with us as an organization? Are you seeking a place to gain valuable experience and contribute your skills to a meaningful cause? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you!

Who We Are Looking For:

We are on the hunt for a new board member who’s enthusiastic, innovative, and ready to help us lean into our new strategic plan! We already have an incredible board with a diverse skillset. We would love to have someone who is familiar with research, law, finances and politics. Most importantly though, we are looking for someone who can help us ensure that the needs of the English-speaking communities and low-literate adults are served through the diverse programs and services we offer at LIA.

You do not need to have a high school diploma or university certificate. We are someone with perspective, voice and curiosity open to being a part of a learning organization. 🌱 Got questions before putting your name forward? Write to us!
