Work closely with the Board, accountant, and auditor to ensure transparent reporting and strong financial accountability.
Board Governance & Reporting: Serve as the primary liaison to the Board of Directors by providing timely reports, updates, and recommendations. Support governance processes, attend monthly Board meetings, and collaborate on strategic planning and key decision-making.
Enrolment & Capacity Management: Lead enrolment strategy and manage waitlists to optimize program capacity, ensure financial sustainability, and support equitable access for families.
Stakeholder & School Partnerships: Build and maintain strong, collaborative relationships with Whitney Public School leadership and staff, as well as other key partners including the TDSB, Ministry representatives, and community stakeholders.
Family & Community Relations: Foster strong relationships with families and contribute to a connected and supportive Centre community, promoting trust, communication, and engagement across all stakeholders.
Documentation & Operational Excellence: Ensure all policies, procedures, records, and documentation are accurate, current, and compliant with regulatory requirements, supporting strong operational integrity and accountability.
