Help shape the future of the Canadian internet by applying to be on CIRA’s board of directors.
CIRA is focused on the ambitious goal of building a better online Canada– one that will help foster Canada’s social, cultural and economic development and elevate our position in the global digital economy. With aspirations that large, it is important to have a board of directors that can guide us on our journey.
CIRA board members must represent the diverse pan-Canadian perspective. We need leaders that are tech-savvy, innovative, forward-looking, business thinker, and who have a passion for Canada’s internet. CIRA board members come from diverse professional backgrounds from across Canada, with unique perspectives to help ensure we are achieving our goal for all Canadians.
The internet belongs to all of us, and impacts every aspect of our lives. At CIRA, we believe that Canadians have both the right to be informed about how the internet develops, and a responsibility to act on it. Whether you use the internet for work or play, you can influence the future development and direction of the Internet in Canada. Participating in CIRA’s governance is one way you can help build a better online Canada.
