CEED, Centre for Entrepreneurship Education & Development, advances the spirit of entrepreneurship by delivering innovative programs and services to empower individuals and communities. For more than 25 years, CEED has supported innovative ideas, creative enterprises, and scalable strategies that reflect both social and economic impact. 

As Nova Scotia’s premiere resource for entrepreneurial support, we help businesses “start-up and stay-up” through hands-on programming, financing, mentoring, and advisory services. CEED curates and supports a vibrant community of like-minded entrepreneurs with peer-to-peer learning, professional development, and a passion for business with purpose. 

We’re currently seeking new members to join our Board of Directors who are passionate about entrepreneurship and eager to lend their expertise in support of CEED’s mission and long-term strategic direction.

  • Finance, Accounting, or Audit (CPA designation considered an asset) 
  • Legal (especially corporate law, not-for-profit governance, or regulatory compliance) 

Experience in governance, entrepreneurship, public sector partnerships, or community development is also an asset.
