Competencies required

As much as possible, the RQD board of directors aims to incorporate complementary fields of expertise, provide adequate representation across various areas of practice and organizational forms, and ensure artistic, cultural, territorial and generational diversity. The RQD is searching for people with proven competencies in strategic governance and management in order to support its efforts to ensure the sector’s recovery.

Tangible involvement in the service of the community

The function of director requires strong values of involvement, team spirit and integrity. It also requires a significant time investment. In concrete terms, the BD holds an average of eight three-hour meetings annually, during the week (morning or afternoon), as well as a one-day retreat. Members of the RQD board of directors are also invited to sit on working committees, based on their interests, expertise and availability.
