Our Leadership Team

MEC is led by a group of dedicated professionals who have a passion for the outdoors and a commitment to ensuring members have access to great gear, at a great price.

So what does governance mean to MEC?

Good governance means our leadership creates the conditions for sound decision-making. It means that we are consistent, responsive, and accountable to our members. And it means that we make decisions with the long term interests of MEC in mind, and are committed to open and transparent communication with our members.

What does this mean to our members?

Our governance practices are focused on our members. When you buy a share in MEC and shop with us, you become our "investor", "shareholder", and "customer" all rolled into one – that's what makes the MEC experience unique. This is the cornerstone of our approach to governance - you influence our direction through democratic Board elections, and our Board, on behalf of all members, is responsible for safeguarding our assets and navigating our future direction.

The Board of Directors serve as elected stewards of MEC and our day-to-day operations are overseen by our CEO and our Management team.

The Board, Committees, and our Directors each have job descriptions that drive the overall mandate of the Board's action. Find out more about their Job Description.
