Nova Scotia Rainbow Action Project - NSRAP

Call for 2023-2024 Board of Director Nominees

The Nova Scotia Rainbow Action Project (NSRAP) is seeking nominations for members for our Board of Directors.

NSRAP seeks equity, justice and human rights for 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Nova Scotia. NSRAP seeks to create change in our communities and our society at large so that all 2LGBTQIA+ people are included, valued, and celebrated. We will achieve this through building community and developing strong networks outside of community in addition to public outreach, education, and political action.

The Nominating committee will review applications and bring forward to the Board of Directors for election by the membership or, to fill a vacancy, may reach out provisionally if agreed to by all members.

Details on how to apply are at the bottom of this posting.

Requirements and Responsibilities

  • Available for monthly meetings.
  • Participate in at least one board committee (additional monthly meetings or more frequent meetings as needed).
  • We are seeking directors who are interested in a longer term commitment to the organization.
  • Previous experience sitting on a board is valuable.
  • Directors participate in the governance of NSRAP – provide insight, foresight and oversight to NSRAP activities.
