CAIN Membership Council

The CAIN Membership Council was composed of General Member organization representatives for various regions in Canada. These individuals were member-elected and worked with CAIN as advisors on its strategy, services, and impact - representing CAIN’s General Members.

The Membership Council was created through a nomination and election process administered by CAIN, where each General Member had an opportunity to nominate individuals and then later vote between nominees for their region. For more information, we invite you to read CAIN’s Membership Council Guiding Principles document (that all Council members signed) that outlines items such as eligibility, commitments and accountability, conflicts of interest, and how CAIN approaches creating a safe space for collaboration and conflict resolution. We welcome feedback on how we can improve, contact us.

We sincerely thank our Membership Council for the generous contribution of their time in service to their peers and to our collective efforts to improve the innovation landscape in Canada together.
