Board of Directors

Call for Board Director Candidates

Thank you for considering serving at Trinity Village. Our volunteer Board of Directors play a vital role in realizing our vision to be a dynamic community leader, fostering a compassionate and engaging holistic lifestyle in an eco-friendly environment, through best practices, partnerships, research, and innovation.

Trinity Village is a not-for-profit, charitable organization owned and operated by Lutheran Homes Kitchener - Waterloo (LHKW), a ministry of the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC). In conjunction with community partners, we provide quality programs and facilities that enable people with housing, medical and social needs to live with dignity and respect.

Responsibilities:

  • The Board will direct, control, and inspire the organization through careful establishment of broad written policies reflecting the organization’s vision, mission, and values.

  • The Board is responsible for reviewing and monitoring organizational risks.
  • The Board will clearly articulate, to the CEO or designate, the kind of information needed to understand and monitor the organization’s activities.

    • actively engage in discussion, asking questions to seek clarity or greater understanding,
    • acknowledge that once the majority of the Board has made a decision, the Board will speak with one voice.
  • The Board will emphasize continual Board development. This will include orientation of new members in the Board’s governance process and periodic Board discussion of process improvement.
  • The Board will provide assurance of successful organizational performance towards the specific Ends, yet within parameters set forth by Executive Expectations.
