Call for Nominations / Interest

CLA Elections 2014 - Executive Council  


 

  

In any membership-based organization, all governance activities involve a balance of rights and obligations of the members. Elections are a prime example: members have the right to stand for elected positions, and the right to vote for candidates; they also have the obligation to put themselves forward as candidates when possible, and the obligation to exercise their vote. Good governance depends on active participation by all members.

 

We are seeking nominations for two (2) positions on the CLA Executive Council. The elected individuals will start their terms on 1 January 2015/after the CLA AGM in 2015.  The nominees shall be Personal Members of the Association in good standing since December 31 of the previous year.

 

For the 2015 term we are seeking candidates for the following positions:

  • Vice-President/President-Elect (2015, becoming President for 2016)
  • One Councillor-at-large for a two year term (2015-2017)

If you are interested in nominating a Personal Member to one of these positions, please submit the candidates name and a short statement to  nominations@cla.ca. If you are a Personal Member and wish to serve in one of these positions, please submit your name and a short statement to nominations@cla.ca. Nominations must be received no later than 8 May 2014.


Thank you for considering elected service for your Association.
