Board of Directors

HACL has a volunteer Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is the governing body and directs the management of the organization. It is responsible to the members of the Association. Members of the Association pay an annual membership fee and meet once a year at the Annual General Meeting. The members of the Association elect boards yearly. The Board is governed by the By-Laws of the Association. The members can only change these By-laws at the Annual General Meeting with a majority vote. The members of the Association must submit resolutions in writing one month in advance of the AGM for consideration. The President of the Board or an appointed representative of the Board automatically becomes a member of the Board of Directors for the Nova Scotia Association for Community Living. The Halifax Association Community Living can also have an appointed representative on the Board for the Canadian Association for Community Living; however, that representative must be elected at the AGM of Nova Scotia ACL.
