Please note: These are volunteer positions. Students that sit on the Board are eligible for a college Co-Curricular certificate.
BACKGROUND:
91X (CJLX-FM) is an incorporated not-for-profit organization and is governed by an independent Board of Directors.
This board consists of 12 regular members:
-7 are students elected each spring for a one-year term.
-2 faculty reps, who sit for two-year terms.
-3 reps from the community at large, appointed for three-year terms.
There are also 3 ex-officio (non-voting) members on the Board: the President of the college, VP of Students and the 91X Station Manager.
Duties of the Board of Directors
The Board oversees the “business” end of running 91X and the corporation. This would include approving budgets, major policies, overseeing station staff.
While most of the day-to-day business and operations are handled by station management, the Board has ultimate control on the direction the station takes, from a business stance. The station management reports to, and often receives direction from, the Board.
The Board usually holds six meetings over the course of the academic year: April, October, November, January, February and March. Meetings are generally about an hour.
Board membership eligibility:
Student members of the Board must:
-be intending to return as a student at Loyalist College in the fall of 2026.
-10 of the 12 regular board positions must be held by Canadians. Up to two board positions may be held by non-Canadians.
Process:
There are two steps to becoming a Board member: Application and potentially an Election.
Applications are will be accepted until Friday, March 6, 2026 at 4pm. You can access an on-line application for here. Paper application forms are also available from the 91X Administration office in room 1L11B, and at the 91X studios in the Digital Media Centre (near room 1N22J). Paper forms must be submitted to the 91X Admin Office (1L11B) by the March 6, 2026, 4pm deadline.
Should more than seven nominations be received by the nomination deadline, an election will be held Wednesday, March 11, 2026.
Executive positions on the board
There are four executive positions on the 12-member board. At the first meeting for the new student members in April, the Board collectively determines who will serve as: President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Here’s a brief description of each position:
President: Chairs each meeting. Charged with running the meetings in an efficient and orderly manner. The President has the authority to call additional meetings should they be required.
Vice-President: Assumes the above duties should the President not be able to fulfill his/her role because of absence. Can act as an assistant to the President for other duties the President may wish to delegate.
Secretary: Takes detailed minutes during each Board meeting, making sure to record all motions presented, who made the motion, who seconded, and the results of any vote. Also distributes minutes and agendas to Board members.
Treasurer: Presents updated financial statements at the Board meetings. While station management takes care of the day-to-day accounting and bookkeeping, the Treasurer should have a good understanding of the corporation’s finances, including sources of revenue and expenditures. However, it’s not necessary to have extensive accounting skills to hold this position.
