The Windsor Elms Board of Directors is a dedicated, skilled and accountable group of individuals. Collectively they provide governance which is embedded in best practices, and are committed to continuous quality improvement as a governing body.

The Board has four established committees; Finance, Governance, Quality and CEO Performance & Compensation Review. The Terms of Reference for these committees are found in the Governance Policy Manual. (link below)

Directors are selected through a process that is guided by a recruitment framework. This framework utilizes a skills matrix to identify the necessary Board Director competencies required and any potential or current gaps in the same, supporting the on-going succession planning commitment.

The Windsor Elms Village is committed to inclusivity and will consider all submissions, without regard to age, disability, ethno-cultural identity, or gender. We welcome and celebrate the stories that make up the diverse communities of Nova Scotia, and we strongly encourage submissions from individuals who self-identify as members of under-represented communities.

Potential Directors undergo an interview process. Once elected, new Directors undergo an orientation and are assigned a mentor to assist with their successful introduction to the Board.

Each year the Board as a whole, and the individual Directors, undergo an evaluation of their effectiveness.

A standing agenda item, at each Board meeting, is Governance Education.
