Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is responsible for all aspects of the functioning of the Institute, including mission, governance, relations with Greek authorities, operations in Athens, publications, research projects, finances and fund-raising, personnel, membership and educational outreach. It receives reports regularly from Executive members, officers in Athens, Committee Chairs, and the Editor of the CIG Bulletin, and from these it reports directly to members of the Institute through the Annual General Meeting, and a semi-annual newsletter. The Board consists of academic members representing various participating educational institutions across Canada, as well as academic and non-academic members appointed to the Board from time to time.
