SLR operates 100% on the energy and goodwill of our volunteers. 

Board of Directors

• As a registered Not-For-Profit corporation with charitable status we have a Board of Directors, which members elect at the Annual General Meeting. The Directors are responsible for meeting all financial and legal requirements, and for the overall success of SLR.
• There are seven to nine Directors, consisting of the immediate Past-President (chair), current President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and up to four Members-at-Large.
• The Board meets as needed throughout the year to plan the budget, report to Canada Revenue, negotiate the accommodation lease, and maintain links with funders and other NFPs.
• The Directors select the committee chairs, troubleshoot issues, explore new initiatives, and review the on-going status and satisfaction of our membership.

Executive Council

The Executive Council, chaired by the President, is responsible for keeping SLR running smoothly on a day-to day basis.  The Council consists of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Registrar, and the Chairs of some of the following committees.  The Executive Council usually meets monthly to share information and make decisions.
