Call For Nominations - 2021/22 Executive
We are looking to recruit new executive members to our board! There are several positions available (outlined below). You do not need previous experience to become an executive member; all you need is a willingness to learn and desire to participate. Serving as an executive member is a great way to diversify your experience, build your resume, and broaden your professional network. Not to mention, it is a great way to give back to the wildlife profession here in Ontario.
The available positions include:
President-elect: Your first year will be training for the position of President. In your second year you will act as president. The President is responsible for the general supervision of the chapter officers, appoints chairpersons of all regular and special committees, participates in committees, and chairs meetings of the executive. Your third year you will fill the role of past-president (3-year term, including Past-president)
Treasurer: Responsible for the funds of the chapter and completion of financial reports at the end of each calendar-year and a report at each Annual Meeting. Duties also include the receipt and disbursement of funds. (2-year term)
Secretary: Duties include recording of the minutes of all meetings, the maintenance of the membership database, correspondence, and the issuance of meeting minutes. (2 year-term)
Executive Board Member (x2): Act as the governing body for the chapter including participation through sharing and generating ideas in meeting and with committees (2-year term)
The executive committee meets monthly for 1 hour. In addition, most executive members commit an additional 1-4 hours per month to executive duties, depending on their level of involvement in various committees. All chapter executive members must also become full members of the parent society and Ontario Chapter, after being elected to the board.
The election will take place February 2021, with results to be announced at our AGM on March 5th – 7th. If you are interested in running, we will need a short bio (~200-300 words) to include with the election ballots by January 22nd 2021.
If you have questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the chapter at info@octws.ca or matt.e.dyson@gmail.com.
