Tennis NS is a provincial organization that is committed to developing and growing the game throughout all communities within NS. To assist with this mandate, we strongly encourage applications from those that reside in rural communities. Ensuring diversity on the Board is a critical component of the NC’s duties. This means identifying candidates who, if elected, will bring a diversity of gender, ethnicity, culture, and thought to their duties. Candidates should have a commitment to respect, safety, and fun, which are paramount for everyone involved in the game.
An important part of the process will be the screening and interviewing of potential candidates by the committee. The NC is committed to a respectful, professional, and fair process for all.If you are interested in exploring a board position please send your resume highlighting your relevant skills and experience to info@tennisnovascotia.com by January 30th, 2023 to be considered.
