CASC 2022-2023 Board of Directors 

CASC is committed to the 50-30 Challenge. As part of this challenge, we aim to include more representation on our Board from equity deserving groups, currently at 8%, we are working towards the goal of at least 30% of the CASC Board of Directors to include representation of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, racialized people, Black people and people of colour, people with disabilities (including invisible and episodic disabilities) and 2SLGBTQ+ and/or gender and sexually diverse individuals.

We’re looking for new talent and perspectives to join our 2022-2023 Board of Directors!

This is an exciting leadership role that will help shape the future of informal science engagement in Canada. Please contact info@casc-accs.com for more information.
