Board of Directors

The 13-member CADTH Board of Directors is composed of an independent chair; a regional distribution of jurisdictional federal, provincial, and territorial representatives; and a number of non-jurisdictional representatives from health systems, academia, and the general public. Directors are elected by the Members of the Corporation, who are the Deputy Ministers of Health for participating federal, provincial, and territorial governments.

The Board has overall responsibility for administering the affairs of the Corporation and providing the strategic direction to guide CADTH's success as the Canadian "go-to" provider of evidence and advice on the use of drugs and other health technologies.
