The Bronte Historical Society is currently looking to fill the position of President. The Board of Directors is the governing body of the Bronte Historical Society, a Charitable Corporation. The Board is elected and consists entirely of volunteers. Officers of the Board oversee and direct the major aspects of the Society's operations. Board officers are strongly supported by additional Directors who manage specific areas of interest and expertise so that no volunteer role is too onerous.
The President of the Board is the head of the Board and, at a minimum, is responsible for calling and leading all meetings of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the Membership.
In addition, the President is the official head of the Society and can provide strategic and long-term planning and goal setting as well as oversee the reports and activities of other Officers and Directors. The extent of these roles is dependent on the wishes of the President and all other Board Members. It is our desire to have an active President in order to help us achieve our goals.
