Governance
Two bodies govern the Guild jointly: a seven-member council and a fifteen-member national forum. Both the council and the national forum are made up of elected Guild members. These members are elected from Canada’s five regions (Atlantic, Quebec, Central, Western and Pacific). Terms last for two years. The council oversees activities and sets Guild policies, while the national forum meets annually with the council and the executive staff to add their input. The Guild’s executive staff is in charge of managing the Guild’s day-to-day operations. The Executive director of the Guild is Maureen Parker. Council Members:
- President: Jill Golick (Central Region)
- Vice-President: Andrew Wreggitt (Western Region)
- Treasurer: Mark Ellis (Central Region)
- Councillors: Michael Amo (Atlantic Region), Denis McGrath (Central Region), Anne-Marie Perrotta (Quebec Region), Dennis Heaton (Pacific Region)
