BOARD OF DIRECTIONS / COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Are you looking at getting involved behind the scenes? The Board of Directors of Epilepsy Toronto is actively looking for individuals with great people skills, an area of expertise, and leadership abilities to become part of the board or participate on one of the various committees. I would love to speak with you about the opportunities that presently exist and how we could use your skills. The time commitment is not as much as you think and it is a great way to have a voice in the long-term vision of the agency.

Please contact Pam McDonald at info@epilepsytoronto.org if you are interested.
