Annual General Meeting
SaskCulture strives to build a culturally vibrant future, in which all people in Saskatchewan, individually and collectively, celebrate, value, and support participation in, and access to, cultural experience. By actively seeking out candidates, members can contribute to building a well-rounded, well-represented, effective governing board that promotes inclusivity, diversity, transparency, and accountability. The application process nominees will better understand that although they may come from a specific community, once elected to the Board, they do not represent that community but govern on behalf of the whole of SaskCulture.
