Your Time Commitment

Being an SPRA board member isn’t just about fun and games – though we do have a lot of that. Directors are expected to devote time to the following areas:

Board Meetings    
Four board meetings are held each year; three are in-person and one is virtual. In-person meetings are held on Wednesday with Tuesday and Thursday as travel days, as required. Meetings are approximately five to six hours and are hosted in various locations throughout the province. 

Board Reports    
Directors are expected to review board reports prior to meetings. This requires two to five hours of preparation.

Committee Meetings  
Directors serve on two to three committees. Depending on the committee, there are two to three meetings per year.

SPRA AGM            
Will be held virtually in October of each year.
