    Organizational structure: Mines Action Canada has a Board of Directors which oversees decision making processes for the organization. Mines Action Canada’s Executive Director acts as a liaison between the Board and the staff team. Members of the Board of Directors are drawn from the member organizations and the individual members. The Board meetings regularly to review advice from staff and make decisions by voting with each director having one vote. Mines Action Canada’s by-laws do not permit proxy voting. All members have the ability to nominate (and elect should there be numerous candidates) members of the Board of Directors during member meetings. The meetings of all members are held annually or when the members from across the country can be present.
    Number and type of members: Mines Action Canada’s by-laws allow individuals and organizations to be members. There are currently 5 individual members and 5 member organizations. Mennonite Central Committee Canada, Project Ploughshares, Science for Peace, the Vancouver Island Peace and Disarmament Network and Manitobans against Indiscriminate Weapons are member organizations.
