A3. The CMS Board has been considering these changes for the past year. We have hired a Governance Consultant, Mongeon Consulting, who has significant experience in helping organizations develop efficient governance structures that meet national standards for not-for-profit organizations like ourselves. The Governance Committee, composed of Tim Alderson (VP Atlantic), Kseniya Garaschuk (Director, Ontario) and David Oakden (Treasurer), together with our Executive Director, Termeh Kousha, have been working closely with Mongeon Consulting to arrive at a model (and all the supporting by-laws and charters) that meets our needs.
