These positions are nominated and elected at the first Parents’ Committee meeting or parents AGA in their respective school boards (usually held in October).

They participate at Board of Directors meetings and contribute their experience and expertise through EPCA sub-committees. The term of office of EPCA Director is a two-year term.

EPCA represents Quebec English parents' interests to the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur; as well, EPCA, via its member Parent Committees, assists and supports parents by providing education and, when necessary, advocacy, on more regional matters.
