Dear CSSR/SCER members, we need to elect people to fill the following roles on the Executive and Committees at the 2017 AGM. If you would like to nominate someone, or nominate yourself, please contact the president Tania Smith at president@cssr-scer.ca before May 25. Nominations will also be accepted from the floor at the AGM.
Executive committee
We will need to prepare a full slate of nominees in case proposed 2017 Constitutional Revisions are accepted at the AGM. If none of the revisions are accepted, we will require a new secretary-treasurer and member-at-large.
Persons currently serving in the Executive may seek re-election to their current role or may seek to be elected to a different role.
