| Organizational structure: |
CANARI’s legal governing body is a Board of Directors. Elected Board members hold the positions of Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. In 2001, CANARI established an innovative internal operating structure, the Partnership, designed to leverage more effectively the collective skills of elected Board members and senior staff, to improve the working relationship between the two groups, to give senior staff a more formal role in governance, and to better reflect the participatory culture of the organisation. Under the Partnership structure, Board members are designated as ‘Elected Partners’ and the Executive Director as ‘Managing Partner’. Senior technical staff with management responsibilities can be appointed as ‘Staff Partners’. CANARI's Associates advise on and support CANARI in achieving its mission, and provide a flexible human resource pool that can be drawn upon as needed to undertake paid consultancies for CANARI. Programme Advisors give strategic advice and guidance on programme development, implementation and evaluation. CANARI has its office in Trinidad. It is legally a non-profit organisation registered in Saint Lucia, the United States Virgin Islands and Trinidad and Tobago. It has 501(c) (3) status in the United States and charitable status in Trinidad and Tobago. |
