The NatureServe Canada Board of Directors is comprised of representatives from our Constituent Member provincial and territorial Conservation Data Centres (CDCs). In addition to governing the operations of NatureServe Canada, our Board of Directors supports the broader international network in achieving its shared mission by:

• Representing the CDCs in strategic, annual, and operational planning
• Coordinating communications and maintaining connections between CDCs and NatureServe staff
• Seeking and contributing to fundraising and business development
• Nominating a representative member of the NatureServe Board of Directors

In addition to the Constituent Member CDCs, NatureServe Canada includes Associate Member agencies and organizations that support the purposes of the network and who contribute and manage important biodiversity data. The collaborative efforts of the Constituent and Associate Members facilitate the effective planning and implementation of NatureServe Canada's activities and projects.

Please contact us if your organization is interested to learn more about Associate Membership in the NatureServe Canada.
