CCI-LEX Board of Directors

CCI-LEX is looking for new volunteer Board members!

Who are we? Cultural Connections Institute - The Learning Exchange (CCI-LEX) provides accessible English language classes for adult newcomers with an emphasis on community-building and cultural exchange. A registered charity in downtown Edmonton, we have been changing the lives of thousands of newcomers since 2003.

We are looking for new Board members who will support CCI-LEX's mission to build an exciting, multicultural, and positive learning environment that fosters community connections and belonging for all adult newcomers. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, ability to work well in small groups, and previous experience working with non-profit boards are considered assets.

We are always seeking individuals from a variety of backgrounds and experiences to reflect the diversity of our community. All candidates will be considered, so if you feel passionate about CCI-LEX and what we do, please apply! Candidates are encouraged to highlight their unique perspectives, experiences and relevant skills that they would bring to the role (e.g. finance, fund development, marketing, communications, human resources, leadership, and adult education).

The CCI-LEX Board of Directors is a Governance Board that assists in policy creation, strategic planning and oversight. Successful candidates are required to attend monthly board meetings and are expected to join one of the four committees: Human Resources, Governance, Fund Development and Community Engagement, or Finance.

What is the time commitment? 5-10 hours per month. We have both virtual and in-person meetings throughout the year.

How do I apply? Please include a resume and letter of interest saved as one file. Please submit all questions and applications to the CCI-LEX's Executive Director, Anne-Marie Kallal (executive.director@cci-lex.ca), by April 4, 2025.

Only those selected for an interview will be contacted. Successful applicants will be invited to observe Board Meetings in April and May with ratification at the Annual General Meeting in June. Applicants may be required to provide references and undergo a police record check.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. CCI-LEX values diversity and encourages applications from women, persons with disabilities, visible minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people of Indigenous descent.
