Guiding the direction of the CAG

The Board of Directors of the Canadian Association of Geographers (CAG) provides strategic leadership, governance, and oversight for the organization. Comprised of elected officers and representatives from across Canada, the Board reflects the diversity of the geographic community, including scholars, educators, students, and professionals working in public, private, and non-profit sectors.

The Board is responsible for guiding the Association’s mission to advance the study and application of geography, promote research and education, and support a national network of geographers. Through collaboration with committees, regional divisions, and members, the Board ensures that the CAG remains responsive to emerging social, environmental, and scientific challenges.

Key responsibilities of the Board include setting organizational priorities, supporting conferences and initiatives, recognizing excellence in geography, and fostering equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility within the discipline
