Regional Directors

We need your help to ensure that Ontario Nature is there when nature needs us most! We are recruiting Regional Directors for the Carolinian East, Carolinian West and Ontario East Nature Network.

Working as a member of Ontario Nature’s Board of Directors, the Regional Director’s role is to build and foster a close relationship between Ontario Nature and regional Nature Network groups. This relationship is vital to engaging Nature Network members in Ontario Nature programs and campaigns, and to ensure that Ontario Nature is aware of key regional concerns and interests which may require action. Equally important is the role of the Regional Director in fostering knowledge and skill sharing amongst Nature Network groups in their region.

Why Should You Become a Regional Director?

• Be there when nature needs you most by contributing to the protection of wild species and wild spaces.
• Volunteer alongside a dedicated and fun team of people who care about nature.
• Influence provincial policy and priorities for nature conservation.
• Ensure your region’s environmental priorities have a voice.
• Set the strategic direction for a leading conservation organization that is the voice for nature in Ontario.
• Participate in enjoyable and educational board retreats and annual gatherings.

Regional Directors attend board meetings and regional meetings (virtual or in-person) and serve two-year terms with a maximum of three consecutive terms. Regional Directors must be Ontario Nature members and involved with a member group in their region.
