The Children at Risk Board follows the Carver Policy Governance Model, now meeting bi-monthly to review charity policies and happenings. We are especially looking for Board Members who either have experience/background in Human Resources and can attend Board Meetings, but also those who have the ability and desire to help with Fundraising Events and Donor Development. Throughout the year Children at Risk either stages Fundraisers or is invited as a recipient charity and it is important for a Charity Representative to attend, be social and impart the cause of Autism and how Children at Risk provides supports for ASD children and their families!

Members who cannot attend may give a proxy to any other person, who need not be a member. Proxies must be in writing, signed by the member who will be absent, and mailed to or brought to the meeting by another member. Members who have given a proxy may still change their minds and attend, in which case the proxy is cancelled. Only those members who have paid their annual membership dues to Children at Risk, Ottawa, have the privilege of voting at the AGM. However, ALL are Welcome to the AGM, even if you are not a Member!

By Order of the Board, Mark Lalonde, President May 07, 2017
