As Mathstronauts continues to expand its reach and deepen its impact, the Board will play a critical role in strengthening governance, accountability, and long-term sustainability strategies. Key areas of focus include:

• Providing strategic oversight to ensure programs remain aligned with Mathstronauts’ mission and responsive to community needs.
• Ensuring fiscal responsibility and accountability, including strengthening financial reporting practices and governance frameworks.
• Developing and approving a 2030 Strategic Plan to guide Mathstronauts’ growth and expansion across Canada by 2030.

“The strength of Mathstronauts lies not only in our programs, but also in the dedicated leadership behind them,” said Sehrish Zehra, Executive Director of Mathstronauts. “We’re excited to introduce our Board of Directors to the community and to welcome Gail, Dawn, Lori, and Radhika, whose experience will strengthen our ability to reach and support even more youth. We also thank our returning directors for their dedication, guidance, and support over the years. I look forward to working with each of you to enact our audacious and ambitious 2030 North Star.”

Reflecting on her decision to join the Board, Gay Yuyitung shared, “My children participated in Mathstronauts programming when they were in elementary school and it inspired my oldest daughter to go into robotics engineering. I would like to support Mathstronauts in their vision to encourage more kids from diverse backgrounds to consider this as a career choice.”

Mathstronauts delivers hands-on STEM programs for underrepresented youth in grades 3 to 12, combining skills-building with mentorship and exposure to future pathways. With strong governance and dedicated leadership in place, the organization is working toward its long-term goal of expanding access to STEM education across multiple regions in Canada by 2030.
