Nomination and Election Process

Each November, candidates for positions on the Alumni Executive Committee will be nominated and elected from the alumni registered on the Alumni website. There will be two positions elected per year, each for a three-year term. Candidates for the Alumni Executive Committee are nominated by one of two processes:

       1. The current Alumni Executive Committee nominates candidates to fill the vacancies left by retiring committee members; and

       2.  Additional candidates may be nominated by any three Members.

It is the Committee's intention to create a fair process for all candidates. The steps below briefly summarize the nomination and election process.

1. The Alumni Executive Committee nominates candidates who have the skills and attributes the Committee requires, and ensures that all vacancies on the Committee will be filled.
2. Members may nominate additional candidates who are members of the Alumni Association. Nominations require the consent of the candidate and the approval of three other members of the Alumni Association.
3. Nominations must be received by November 1st. A list of names and a brief biography of all candidates is then posted on the alumni website.
4. In the event that more candidates are nominated than there are positions to be filled, there will be an online election. Alumni who are registered on the alumni website may then vote via email from November 16th to November 30th. Independent scrutineers will tally the votes.
