Board of Directors & Governance
Protein Industries Canada’s Board of Directors is responsible for the strategic direction, fiduciary oversight and risk management of the organization. Protein Industries Canada is committed to diversity and gender parity within its Board of Directors.
In 2024-25, three new members were elected to the Board of Directors at the AGM in September 2024. The new board members, who represent one independent director and two industry directors, bring a mix of skills and expertise to further support the long-term success of the organization.
Protein Industries Canada continues to meet the requirements of gender parity on the Board of Directors.
During the fiscal year 2024-25, board meetings were held both virtually and in person. Over the course of the year, the board met seven times, with four meetings being held in person and three virtually. In addition, a one-day virtual board orientation for the new board member was held.
There are two committees of the board: Governance & Nominating and Audit & Finance. Committees meet in advance of regular board meetings.
In 2024, the Board created a subcommittee to conduct the search for a new CEO. The CEO Selection Committee met six times between July and December. Once the new CEO was in place, the Board disbanded the CEO Selection Committee.
