The Board of Directors is the core governance body of the Corporation. It meets regularly throughout the year and is made up of directors (nominated by the member organizations and the Board of Directors) and appointed by the member organizations. The Board has direct responsibility over a number of committees reporting to the Board. Board committees address matters such as nominations for governance positions, oversight of the Corporation’s governance practices, and governance policies. Advisory committees provide advice on matters relating to the operations, monitoring, and World Heritage Site periodic reporting. The Corporation’s Executive Director, working in the Grand Pré area, serves as the secretariat for the organization and runs day-to-day operations, overseen by the Board and the Board Chair.
