CSA is proud to introduce the 2016/17 CSA Board of Directors, elected by the membership at large during May Changeover Conference. The Board oversees the organization while providing guidance and future vision. All members of the Board are current student leaders from within the membership. The Board brings important post-secondary issues to the membership for their input through conferences and workshops. These events are where advocacy initiatives, research direction, and recommendations are voted upon by the membership.
