Guidelines For The Board Of Directors

Download  Primer for Board of Directors

Ideally, any board of directors should be made up of individuals who bring a wide array of skills and expertise to the task of governing a not-for-profit corporation. So it is perhaps fitting that in creating this publication, we have enjoyed the luxury of drawing on an exceptionally broad range of talents and experience.

The Primer for Directors of Not-for-Profit Corporations was commissioned from the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy as part of Industry Canada's consultation work on reforming the Canada Corporations Act. The project benefited from the input of numerous Industry Canada staff working under the direction of first Lee Gill, then Gilles Gauthier. Eva Fried, Nicolas Lavoie and Veronica Wessels all provided assistance and feedback, helping to ensure the text was as comprehensive, accessible and accurate as possible.

Individual contributors are identified at the beginning of each chapter. These credits however, may not convey the collaborative effort that went into many chapters. Our collective aim was to produce the most user-friendly and comprehensible text we could. To do so, inevitably some material that was conceived as part of one chapter found its way elsewhere. It is a mark of the professionalism and commitment to this project of the contributors that they all readily agreed to this, without insisting that these changes be individually acknowledged.

The finished text before you would not have been possible without the participation of Norah McClintock and David Stevens. Norah provided her keen eye to ensure the text never got bogged down in legalese, and David his astute insight so that our desire to use plain language never compromised the legal integrity of the publication. As well, Paul Martel added essential information throughout the text on treatment of not-for-profit corporations and their directors under Québec Civil Law. The striking design of the book was the work of Wioletta Wesolowski.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the dedication of Peter Broder, my colleague at the Centre for Philanthropy and the co-ordinating editor of this volume, as well as the work of Michael Anderson and Robert MacKenzie of the Canadian Association of Society Executives, and the Executive of the Canadian Bar Association Charity and Not-for-Profit Law Section, for their input and help in winning endorsement of the publication from their respective organizations.

RINJ Standards Program

The RINJ Foundation has adopted Imagine Canada's Standards Program which offers a Canada-wide set of shared standards for charities and nonprofits designed to strengthen their capacity in five fundamental areas:
  • board governance
  • financial accountability & transparency
  • fundraising
  • staff management
  • volunteer involvement
The Standards Program is first and foremost a capacity-building initiative. Any organization may use these standards to improve and monitor its practices. Information about how to comply with the standards, as well as tools and resources to help organizations continue to strengthen their practices, is available free of charge. Organizations wishing to demonstrate publicly that they meet the standards can participate in a voluntary peer-review-based accreditation process

RINJ Principals

About The RINJ Foundation
"RINJ" (RINJ.org / RINJ.ca ) is a private, non-profit, association of humanitarians including nurses, midwives, medics, EMS workers, doctors, lawyers and investigators fighting for the safety of women and children around the world. This association of members comprises an organized and structured global NGO, Civil Society group and *Social Movement. (*Including several of its subsidiary units RINJ in some regions seeks to empower oppressed population elements to mount effective challenges and resist the more powerful and advantaged elites.)
The RINJ Foundation
RINJ operates 100% on funds from private funders to ensure RINJ
  • freedom to offer humanitarian assistance when & where needed; &
  • maintain RINJ independence from political, religious & economic influence.
RINJ volunteers provide assistance to women and children in distress, to survivors of natural or man-made disasters & to victims of armed conflict. RINJ fills its role regardless of race, religion, creed or political convictions.
  • RINJ volunteers observe neutrality and impartiality in the name of universal medical ethics; the rule of law; and the universal right to humanitarian assistance.
  • RINJ claims full & unfettered freedom in the exercise of its functions.
  • RINJ volunteer/members undertake to respect professional codes of ethical standards & maintain independence from political, economic or religious powers.
  • RINJ volunteers/members understand the risks and dangers of the missions they carry out and make no claim for themselves or their assigns for any form of compensation other than that which The RINJ Foundation might be able to afford them.
  • Impartiality & neutrality are not equal to silence. When RINJ workers witness extreme acts of violence against individuals or groups, the organisation may speak out publicly. RINJ may seek to bring attention to extreme need and unacceptable suffering when access to justice or lifesaving medical care is impeded, when medical facilities come under threat, when crises like rape for the purpose of genocide are neglected, or when the provision of aid is inadequate or abused.
  • Crimes Against Humanity, 2012 to 2024-03-19. RINJ Claims the right for any of its members capable, to arrest and detain for transport to the Hague any ISIS person who
    1) in a contiguous set of actions to or from the moment of being observed comitting an act in contravention of the Rome Statute; and
    2) who in so doing also simultaneously claims to be or showing that they are, by uniform, flag bearing, or outright statement, members of the alleged War Criminal Group known as "The Islamic State".

Who are the "RINJ Women"

We are the (Rape Is No Joke) RINJ Women who fought in the 2000s to get the money-making pro-rape and child sex slavery content off social media platforms, ending on 4 November 2011. Some of us collectively decided to continue our work for the universal rights of women and girls. We incorporated on 21 August 2012 after years of fighting as a grass roots organization called The RINJ Campaign. We have no restrictions. That's our story. We move forward striving for gender equality universally despite the setbacks that have been experienced globally, and despite the attacks of misogynistic authoritarians.
