RTO 9 Board of Directors - South Eastern Ontario – Call for applications

The application period for the RTO 9 Board of Directors will be March 20th to April 10th, 2026!

RTO 9’s Board of Directors will strive to maintain strong geographic representation across South Eastern Ontario while actively encouraging applications from high-caliber individuals both within and beyond the tourism sector, including those from outside the region, who bring a complementary balance of experience and skill sets to the table. We believe that this brings a diversity of perspectives and experiences that provide the organization with a much fuller picture of the future and a more representative Board of Directors that reflects who our residents are and who our visitors will be. 

Directors’ seats are for a three (3) year term. The five (5) individual Director positions to be filled at the 2026 AGM are:

  • one (1) position from the East region
  • one (1) position from the Central region
  • one (1) position from the West region
  • two (2) positions At Large
