What is CRE?
CRE is a national Indigenous charity founded by university students, and over the past decade, we have convened tens of thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth for dialogue, understanding, and relationship building. Our mission is to empower young people to be changemakers in their community and work towards achieving truth and reconciliation in their lifetime. A vision of a reconciled Canada is only possible through collective action and impact, so CRE’s contribution to this goal is programming centred on the tenets of 1) self-determination, 2) capacity building, 3) solidarity, and 4) networking.
What is the opportunity?
The Audit and Finance Committee is a standing committee of CRE’s Board of Directors composed of both board members and external community volunteers. CRE is a growing organization, and this committee is responsible for helping to ensure a sustainable and resilient financial future for CRE. To this end, the Committee recommends financial strategies, plans, and policies to the Board of Directors for approval and provides advice and guidance to the Chief Operating Officer and other CRE staff.
The Committee meets 5 times per fiscal year to review and recommend the annual business plan and budget to the Board, support the audit process, review and recommend audited financial statements to the Board, review and amend policies, and evaluate and set fundraising and investment goals. Meetings are held virtually and typically in May, July, September, November, and February.
