Governance
The Centre for Suicide Prevention is governed by an elected Board of Directors. Currently, CSP has eight directors bringing a variety of expertise and experience. These include: corporate law, finance, journalism, computer software, education, funeral services, oil industry, and not-for-profit sector. Three of our members personally understand the loss and pain of suicide. Their commitment and sensitivity continues to guide the mandate and vision of the organization.
