General Assembly

The General Assembly comprises over a hundred people, who make up the Oxfam-Québec Corporation, acting in an individual and volunteer capacity. The assembly meets once a year to decide on the direction of the Corporation’s main programs, elect the Board of Directors and set the mandate. The aim of the Assembly is to strengthen Oxfam’s accountability by facilitating discussion and an exchange of views on issues of strategic or corporate importance among stakeholders. 

The Board of Directors is Oxfam-Québec’s governing body and meets approximately five times a year. The members of the board direct the Corporation toward reaching its objectives, oversee business affairs, enter into and negotiate all contracts in which the Corporation can legally partake and, in general, exercise, individually and as a whole, the rights and authority held by the Corporation itself.
