Board of Directors!

Ontario Public Interest Research Group at York University is only one of
many student-driven public interest research groups across Canada, whose
purpose is to engage the student community in projects and research based
in social and environmental justice initiatives. The York Public Interest
Research Group board of directors is comprised of York University students
and community members, and all York University students who have not opted

means committing to working within an anti-oppressive framework and
utilizing a consensus decision making process.

The Board of Directors at OPIRG York is responsible for guiding the
political work of the organization, liaising with working groups,
responding to funding requests and overseeing staff work. With the
Volunteer Coordinator, the board assists in planning and promoting events
that fall within the mandate of the organization.  With the Administration
Coordinator, the Board assists in managing the finances of the
organization. If you think that this is something you would be interested
in, please nominate yourself! You can also nominate a friend, with their
consent.

room C449. The deadline for nominations is at 5pm Tuesday, March 20th.
