Apply to serve on the World Accord Board of Directors

World Accord is inviting applications from qualified candidates to serve as a Board Director for an initial three-year term. Applications are welcome from people across Canada, and World Accord is committed to a governance board that reflects diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is an opportunity to contribute to international development and community-led change. Board Directors are active throughout the year, typically attending four to six virtual meetings and one in-person Annual General Meeting, usually held in June in Ottawa. 

For more than 45 years, World Accord has partnered with communities around the world to support locally led development initiatives that empower women and girls and strengthen resilient communities. Current partnerships and programs are located in Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador), Asia (Nepal), and most recently in Africa (the Afar region of Ethiopia). The organization’s work is grounded in shared values including social justice and equity, partnership, sustainability, and empowerment.
