As per our bylaws, the NSFA is required to communicate the list of qualified nominees for election to NSFA Council, ten days prior to the first day of the Annual General Meeting.
Three positions are available on the NSFA Council this year, and we’ve received applications from three candidates. The Nominations Committee has carefully reviewed the list of candidates to confirm eligibility and ensure the completeness of their applications.
The vote and election are scheduled for our Annual Meeting on Wednesday, November 27, during the invite-only session. Each candidate will have up to three minutes to introduce themselves, discussing their reasons and qualifications for Council.
It’s important to note that, in accordance with our bylaws, nominations will not be accepted from the floor. Exceptions to this rule are only made when there is an insufficient number of nominations to fill the available positions.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the current list of Council members, as our aim is to ensure that the Council is representative of our membership and brings together diverse perspectives. Your participation in this process is crucial to the success of our organization.
