Kids Brain Health Network involves individuals and organizations passionate about helping children with neurodisabilities. Our Board of Directors and vital committees include parents, members of community groups, researchers, health care professionals, as well as businesses, and government. We welcome hearing from interested individuals and organizations.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has a mandate to oversee and steward Kids Brain Health Network. Accountable to the NCE Secretariat, the Board reports twice annually on Kids Brain Health’s activities and progress. In response priorities and opportunities arising, the Board has also created a number of committees to guide various aspects of the Network. Board meetings are held at least four times per year.
The Board comprises twelve to fifteen Directors, who serve one- to three-year terms, renewable for a further term. Directors represent academic, business, and community sectors. Kids Brain Health is fortunate to have an exceptionally qualified and diverse group of Directors, who are rich in experience, and have an active interest in helping Kids Brain Health realize its vision.
