Equine Canada Call For Nominations

Each year the Equine Canada Nominations Committee has the responsibility of presenting a slate of candidates to the membership for the election of a Director At Large

. The committee is composed of a chair who is appointed by the board of directors, and one member from each of the four Equine Canada division councils.

The nominations committee is seeking candidates that possess passion and drive to work with other committed volunteer board members to build and enhance equine activities (sport, industry and recreation) in Canada on EC's policy governance board. The board of directors meets face to face twice a year and monthly via conference calls.

Equine Canada wishes to recruit and develop directors who bring a range of needed professional skills, background, and diversity that is reflective of the community it serves. Knowledge in equine activities and strategic expertise in various aspects of non-profit governance is deemed an asset. Functioning on the board requires logical, innovative, forward thinking individuals able to work well in a team.

Application packages for the Director At Large election are available on Equine Canada’s website. Nominees, nominators and 'seconders' must all be Equine Canada Individual Members in good standing.

Any Equine Canada individual member in good standing as per Equine Canada bylaws (18 years of age or over in the year of election) shall be eligible to cast one vote for the Director At Large. Election will start on Friday, December 9, 2011 and will close on Thursday, January 12, 2012. Results of the election will be announced at the 2012 Equine Canada General Meeting.

EC has invited interested candidates to explore the opportunity further by visiting Equine Canada’s website (equinecanada.ca) prior to November 25, 2011.

Equine Canada is a non-profit organization, committed to represent, promote, and develop a unified and diverse Canadian Equine Community.
