There are times when great opportunities fall right into your lap. If you’re a Foresters Financial member, that time is now!
This is your chance to use your leadership skills by becoming a Branch Councillor and helping foster real change at Foresters and in your community. Branch Councillors – also called member leaders – can rally around important causes, get a say in how our member benefits grow, and help elect our Board of Directors.
What’s in it for you?
- You’ll gain skills that stick with you. Every part of the leadership experience helps build skills that you can use in your personal and professional life, like time management and critical thinking. Plus, you can tap into specialised learning and development programmes about leadership, communication, teamwork, volunteerism and innovation.
- You’ll travel and learn from experts. Get invited to exclusive conferences to learn from leadership experts, attend unique training workshops and network with other member leaders.
- You’ll enjoy rewarding volunteer experiences. Foresters is all about giving back, and you’ll have the chance to volunteer with leading charities across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Go above and beyond with specialised funds to help create community activities and give back to more people and charities.
What would my responsibilities be?
Once elected, all you have to do is commit to supporting Foresters Purpose through involvement in your local community and collaborating with like-minded member leaders at monthly virtual meetings. If you’re passionate about helping people, being a Branch Councillor will be right up your alley!
Do I need any special skills?
All you need is the enthusiasm to do more for yourself and your community. That’s it! No matter your professional background, you can apply to become a Branch Councillor.
