The Ontario Soccer Board of Directors is comprised of twelve (12) Directors including a Chair and Vice-Chair, five (5) Regional Directors and five (5) Independent Directors, all elected by the Voting Members (District Associations) with support from the independent Nominations Committee of Ontario Soccer. The Board of Directors do not duplicate the role of Ontario Soccer’s executive management; the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is responsible for the day-to-day business of Ontario Soccer and the implementation of strategy and policies adopted by the Board of Directors.
Ontario Soccer is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse Board working environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity sports organization. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, family status or disability. The Nominations Committee is seeking qualified volunteer Board candidates who are able to contribute to soccer in Ontario that reflects the values of inclusiveness, respect, excellence, integrity, high ethical standards, community building and a focus on what is best for the game. If you have experience in the sport and a passion for quality soccer, the Nominations Committee encourages you to check out and share widely this opportunity to get involved.
