Board Of Directors
FLCS is governed by a twelve (12) person Board of Directors. Approximately one half of the Directors are elected each year at our Annual General Meeting. The terms are for two years. You can be on the Board for a maximum of 6 years. Our Board meets the third Thursday evening of each month except August.
The Board is responsible for the vision and strategic direction of the clinic. They are accountable to our funder, Legal Aid Ontario (LAO), for the monies provided to operate the clinic. The Board members decide on the scope of legal services, draft policies, approve funding applications, approve staffing decisions and liaison with government agencies, the Association of Community Legal Clinics (ACLCO) other community legal clinics and other community agencies in our catchment area. FCLS works hard to ensure that the members of our Board of Directors reflect our community.
