Help shape the future of Downtown Halifax
This is a very exciting time for Downtown Halifax Business Commission (DHBC) as we just launched Downtown Halifax Vision 2030, a report that will serve as a guide for current and new government officials and policymakers, assuring a bright future for the city. We are also in our second year of a three-year Strategic Plan.
Candidates are assessed by the DHBC Board and the Board Nominations Committee. If selected, you are encouraged to attend DHBC’s Annual General Meeting, typically held at the end of June every year, to be voted in.
Although spots are limited, know that we keep a list of interested people for future years.
Time commitment:
- A two-year commitment, which can be extended for an additional two years.
- Regular board meetings are typically held five times/year on Wednesdays, usually around lunch, and can be hybrid, with some members logging in virtually from time-to-time.
- Board Members are required to sit on a committee (Advocacy, Executive, Finance, HR & Governance, IDEA, Marketing, Placemaking).
- The overall time commitment, barring unforeseen circumstances, is 25-35 hours per year.
To assure a strong mix of skill sets and diversity, the more we know about you, the better.
Once the questionnaire is completed it will be assessed by the committee and you will be contacted on next steps.
