employers in the sector, CSSEA’s work impacts approximately 200 employers and nearly

with the Community Services Labour Relations Act. These agreements, covering

community living, Indigenous child and family, and general services, are crucial to the

livelihoods of many British Columbians.

With any change in leadership comes a time for renewal. Following the departure of a

long-serving leader, an exciting opportunity exists for a new Chief Executive Officer

leadership and operational management of CSSEA in alignment with the association’s

statutory mandate, public policy, and the strategic direction of the CSSEA Board.

resource management and managing within a unionized environment is in evidence.

Experience working directly with a Board of Directors and with senior level government

officials, within a multi-stakeholder environment, including Indigenous stakeholders will

be key.

The next CEO has an opportunity to work with a highly capable team to positively impact

a growing sector engaged in highly impactful work.
