Board of Directors – Call for Nominations The Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) is seeking qualified, committed individuals to join its Board of Directors. CAMAP is a national charitable organization that supports professionals working in medical assistance in dying across Canada, including assessors, providers, care coordinators, nurses, social workers, and others involved in MAiD care. We serve as a trusted national hub for connection, education, and guidance—providing high-quality training, evidence-informed resources, and a supportive professional network. Our work sits at the intersection of clinical practice, ethics, public education, and health system leadership, strengthening the capacity of professionals and advancing safe, consistent, and compassionate MAiD care nationwide. About the Role As a Director, you will contribute to CAMAP's strategic leadership and governance. Board members are responsible for stewarding the organization’s mission, ensuring sound governance and financial oversight, and supporting the long-term sustainability and impact of CAMAP’s work.
