Board of Directors

The Conseil de développement économique de la Nouvelle-Écosse is managed by a Board of Directors generally made up of at least eight (8) members and no more than (11) members. These include economic stakeholders from throughout Nova Scotia, but mainly from the Acadian and Francophone regions of the province. The Board of Directors meets regularly to discuss and make decisions on its directions, necessary interventions and how its projects are going. CDÉNÉ’s partners are often invited to attend meetings as observers. However, only members of the Board of Directors may vote.
