Governance
Our principles
Genium360’s Board of Directors exemplifies a culture of respect and collaboration. Certified “CA Engagé” by the Ordre des Administrateurs Agréés, it is committed to promoting a harassment-free environment, where every director takes concrete actions to put these values into practice.
A Committed Board
Why get involved with the Board?
Joining the Board of Directors means choosing to make an active contribution to the development of Genium360. The term of office is 2 years, renewable up to a maximum of 6 years. It involves attending six Board meetings a year, as well as related committee meetings.
When they join the Board, all directors receive governance training, to ensure they fully understand the organization's roles, responsibilities and challenges.
An information meeting is also held at the start of the nomination process, to explain the expectations of the role, answer questions, and provide interested parties with the tools they need.
Administrative support is offered throughout the mandate, and concrete recognition of the commitment is provided.
Genium360's Board of Directors in practice
The Board's operations are based on structured processes aimed at efficiency, transparency and rigour. An annual calendar of meetings, including committee meetings, is drawn up at the beginning of the year.
Comprehensive training is offered to new members to familiarize them with by-laws, internal policies, and governance practices. The support of the Assistant Corporate Secretary and the permanent staff enables members to focus their involvement on strategic issues.
Meeting preparation, attendance, and participation are rewarded with an attendance fee. Travel expenses are reimbursed per internal policy.
The Nomination Process
Board members are selected through a rigorous and transparent process. The nomination period, determined by our General By-Laws, is announced by a notice distributed to all Genium360 voting members (engineering graduates in Canada and members of the OIQ).
