Our Board of Directors reflects the diversity, strength, and national reach of our members. Representing public colleges, institutes, CEGEPs, polytechnics, and key sectors from coast to coast to coast – rural and urban, small and large – they bring a wide range of perspectives to guide our collective work.
Regional Directors representing CICan member institutions are elected from six major regions across Canada: British Columbia and the Yukon, Alberta and the Northwest Territories, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic region. At-Large Directors – from both within and beyond CICan’s membership – are appointed to provide additional expertise and leadership. Together, they ensure CICan stays closely connected and responsive to the evolving needs of learners, their communities, and the country at large.
