Our Purpose

​

The Rose Centre Board is committed to creating a vibrant and inclusive community hub. We provide strategic leadership, oversee operations, and support programs that inspire creativity, learning, and connection. Representing a diverse group of community members, we champion and uphold the vision and values of The Rose Centre.
 
We are always keen to meet with community members who believe community led development & engagement facilitates transformative change in our neighbourhood.

In partnership with The Rose Centre's managers, staff, and stakeholders, our Board works to implement the Strategic Plan, advance our mission, uphold our core values, and strive for continuous improvement across the organisation.
 

INTERESTED IN JoiNING THE BOARD?

Now is the perfect time to get involved and play a key role in an exciting chapter of The Rose Centre’s journey. Don’t worry—new Board members typically aren’t assigned a portfolio unless they have prior Board experience or are eager to dive right in!

Our refreshed Board has introduced progressive changes to how we operate, creating new opportunities to make a meaningful impact. Let’s talk about how your skills and passion can help shape our local resource to meet the current and future needs of our neighbourhood.
