Completing the Directors/Trustees and Like Officials Worksheet
Public information
Information from this column is available to the public.
Enter the last name, first name, and initial of the director/trustee or like
official.
Term:
Start date: Enter the date the person started in the position.
End date: Enter the date the person left the position. If the person has not
left the position, leave this field blank.
Position: Enter the title of the position being held. Each position is
generally identified in an organization's governing documents (for example,
president, treasurer, secretary). A registered charity may have other
officials that have governing powers similar to those of a director or
trustee. For example, a religious leader with some governing authority would
be considered a like official.
At arm's length with other directors: Tick Yes if the person is at arm's
length with all other directors/trustees or like officials.
At arm's length is a concept that describes a relationship in which two
persons act independently of each other and are not related. Related persons
are individuals who are related to each other by blood, marriage or common-
law partnership, or adoption. It is also possible that individuals not
related by a family connection, but by close business relations, may still be
considered not at arm's length. For more information on arm's length, go
tocanada.ca/charities-giving, select "A to Z index of topics for charities,"
search for "Charities and giving glossary" and see "arm's length."

Tax Act, the Canada Pension Plan, the Unemployment Insurance Act, or the
Employment Insurance Act, or any other act of Parliament or law of a province
that allows a tax or duty to be imposed or collected.

each director/trustee or like official.

during the day.
