The Family Place is Currently Looking for a New Treasurer
Do you have a strong financial background? Are you an accountant or bookkeeper looking to give back to a non-profit organization in Halton Region? The Family Place Child Care Centre is looking for an individual to join our Board of Directors as a Treasurer.
Since 1982, The Family Place has been providing quality child care for children in Halton Region.

How do you apply?
If you are interested in the position of Treasurer with The Family Place, please send a cover letter and resume to the attention of Allison McLean, President, Board of Directors at familyplace.bod@gmail.com. We thank everyone for their interest!
The Family Place is a non-profit organization whose operations are managed by an Executive Director, and overseen by a governing Board of Directors.
A non-profit organization is structured so that a group of committed individuals operating as the Board of Directors, constitutes the governing body of the organization. Our By-laws direct that we have a Board of 5 to 11 directors (or members), consisting of both parents and community members. Within the Board, a core group consisting of the President, Secretary, and Treasurer, creates the Board Executive. The remaining members attend all Board meetings, vote on issues, sit on committees, and form the governance direction of the organization.
The Board’s role is, as mentioned, “governance”. “Governance” refers to the policies and procedures that direct the overall operation of the organization. Board members use these policies and procedures, which have been voted and passed at Board meetings, to provide the structure within which the Executive Director is expected to operate the child care centres. The Board does not play a direct role in the day to day operation of the centres. This is the role of the Executive Director, hired and supervised by the Board to run the centres.
