Nominate for Executive Positions
Each year, nominations for Directors of the Local Government Management Association of BC are invited by the Nomination Committee and are received up to and including the final call at the Annual General Meeting, typically held on the Wednesday of the annual conference. The value of early nomination is that a photo and bio will be distributed with the registration packages to delegates attending the annual general meeting and conference.
The nomination process to direct the operations of the Nominating Committee is as follows:
