Governing Structure
The CAJ board of directors is a “working board.” Its volunteer directors perform the roles of both direction-setting as well as dedicating an agree-upon amount of labour hours each month to the work of the organization. The organization abides by and adheres to its established bylaws and policies, as outlined below.
Strategic Plan
The CAJ is proud to present its inaugural strategic plan for 2024-2027. The document presents an ambitious and forward-thinking plan that will support its members in tandem with time-bound, accountability goals.
The national board of directors presents this strategic plan at a time of incredible industry challenges and changes. The ideas and practices articulated in the document are firmly grounded in the organization’s core commitment: to ‘be there’ for the members of its community as much as possible, in both good times and bad.
