Join our Board of Directors

Thank you for your interest in joining our Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors of The Canadian Society for Spirituality & Social Work (CSSSW) is comprised of 12 volunteer Directors. We are currently looking for 4 new Directors to serve as a minimum of one - two years. We are looking for board members who have an interest in event/conference planning, social media, and communications.

The Board of Directors functions as a Governance Committee that coordinates the bi-annual CSSSW conference, organizes events for members, and promotes scholarship, research and dialogue within the field of spirituality and social work.

Applications are accepted across Canada to fill vacancies as they arise. A strong desire to advance Spirituality within holistic practice in social work is essential for interested candidates. Regular meetings of the Board are held on a monthly basis. Additionally, each Director is expected to participate in current projects as they arise.

Please complete the online application below to be considered for the Board of Directors. Previous board experience not mandatory.

The Canadian Society for Spirituality and Social Work is committed to being inclusive.
CSSSW acknowledges there are numerous and diverse ways of knowing, being and practicing spirituality, which range from expressions of spirituality independent of specific belief systems, to those intertwined with religious beliefs and/or cultures. Some of these activities/traditions may overlap, and others are independent of each other. The aim in CSSSW is to provide opportunities for diverse, respectful, and safer expressions of spirituality.
