The ''Societies Act'' requires that every director who is designated, appointed, or elected must either consent in writing to be a director or agree in-person to be a director at the meeting at which they are designated, appointed, or elected. The ''Societies Act'' also requires the non-profit keep a record of every consent to act as a director. The best practice is to have every director sign a Consent to Act as a Director Form which records their consent and which records the director’s affirmation that they meet the eligibility requirements to be a director of the non-profit. An example of a Consent to Act as a Director can be found [https://lawfornonprofits.ca/s/LFNPconsenttoact.doc here]. | The ''Societies Act'' requires that every director who is designated, appointed, or elected must either consent in writing to be a director or agree in-person to be a director at the meeting at which they are designated, appointed, or elected.
