Official Call for ICAN Council Election Nominations

OFFICIAL CALL FOR ICAN BOARD ELECTION NOMINATIONS

 

In connection with the election of members to the Board of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Newfoundland, a call is hereby made for nominations to fill vacancies on the Board to serve a two-year term commencing with the July 2008 Annual General Meeting. Nominations are required to fill four vacancies.

Board members serve a two-year term and are eligible for re-election for no more than three consecutive terms. Terms are staggered such that approximately one-half of the Board will be elected each year to provide greater continuity in any one year, while maintaining an annual election.

All members, except honourary members, who are in good standing and whose residence is in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador are eligible for election to the Board. At all times at least one CA member of the Board must be resident outside the Avalon Peninsula.

The following Board members whose term will end in 2009 will continue on the Board and do not require nomination or election this year:

Board Member         Area of residence         Term expires             Term currently serving

Mark Cook                 St. John’s                     2009 AGM                     1st Term
Steven Walters         St. John’s                     2009 AGM                     1st Term

Pursuant to by-law 32(4) a member of the Board who holds office as Vice-Chair or Secretary-Treasurer shall automatically be a member of the incoming Board for a two-year term. Based on this Richard Power and Jason Silver will continue on the Board and do not require nomination or election this year.

Nominations must be in writing, signed by two members of the Institute with the written assent of the Nominee appended thereto and lodged with the Secretary-Treasurer at the Institute office on or before April 30, 2008. A brief biographical data sheet and a head and shoulders photo in digital format of the nominee should accompany nominations. All biographical data will be subject to review and may be abbreviated for use in conjunction with the ballot papers.
