WELS is a community-based corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, in
consultation with the clinic staff, oversees the administration of the clinic by establishing organizational policies and
objectives to meet the legal needs of the clinics. Although the Board does not take part in the day-to-day operations of
the clinic, it does help determine service priorities.
The 11-member Board of Directors is made up of a cross-section of individuals from our community. We welcome
individuals who have used our services as well as those who support the objectives of the clinic. In addition, we welcome
those with knowledge of finances, law, organizational management and community development. Experience of poverty
or living on a low income is also valued.
The Board of Directors meets monthly. Once a year the clinic holds an all-day planning session. In addition, we provide
training for new directors.
Serving as a Director can be an enriching experience. It is an opportunity to develop a number of skills in various areas,
including: finances and organizational management, all of which can enhance your employability. Your participation will
also increase your understanding of the makeup of our community and the issues of poverty, access to the justice
system and law reform. Being a Board member is also a way to meet interesting and like-minded members of the
community.
To find out more about becoming a director or to request a board recruitment package contact WELS at 613-596-1641.
Other Ways to be Involved - Committees
If you do not have the time to serve as a Director, you can still play an important role in the process by volunteering for
one of our committees. The committees focus on one specific area of the clinic. Click here for a list of our Committees.
