Requirements

Members who are in good standing are eligible for nomination. Positions are elected each year at the Annual General Meeting in September. Please ensure that you will have the time to devote to the responsibilities that are required.

Time commitment

The board meets virtually every other month for a general meeting, once following the annual conference and AGM, and every other month after.

Meetings are held during working hours and are booked for an hour and a half. The officers of the board must attend at least one-half of the general meetings, or a minimum of three each year.
