The Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP) is looking for a qualified individual to serve as the Public Member on the BCRSP’s Governing Board. (For an initial term of one year from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025)
As one of 10 Governors, the public member is expected to apply knowledge, skills, and experience to represent the viewpoints of the public to the deliberations of the Governing Board.
The Public Member may be a professional but must not be a CRSP or CRST or have similar credentials and should not be employed as a safety practitioner. The Public Member has full voice and vote and in addition to the Governing Board, is expected to serve on designated standing committees as assigned.
The Public Member candidate must commit to attending all Governing Board meetings. The Board conducts four (4) meetings per year, three in person and one virtual and the schedule is determined annually by the Board. The BCRSP covers travel expenses to attend Governing Board meetings which are held in various locations across the country. In addition, attendance is expected at a Board orientation meeting for new Governors which is a one-day meeting held in Mississauga, Ontario at the BCRSP office. (The minimum annual time commitment is three weekends (9-10 days), one day orientation, plus time between meetings for email communications along with committee activities that will vary depending on the committees.)
