Board of Directors (as of May 2007)

The North-South Institute is governed by a Board of Directors from a variety of Canadian constituencies including business, media, public policy, education and the voluntary sector. Board members sit on the board as individuals, and do not represent organizational or business interests. Rather each board member is selected because of their experience in international affairs and their commitment to international development.
