The Aboriginal Housing Society of Prince George (AHSPG) is looking for leaders like you to join our Board of Directors! For over 30 years, our volunteer Board has provided safe, healthy, and affordable housing for Aboriginal people of all incomes, ages, and capabilities. Our Board of Directors has been the strategic core of our organization, ensuring that in our work for various housing needs, we deliver real results, respond to changes in our community and always strive to deliver the highest ethical standards.
Board of Directors:
The AHSPG Board of Directors oversees, authorizes, and evaluates the operations of the organization. They meet every 2 months and their duties include but are not limited to:
