IEDC is currently calling for Board of Directors nominations and renominations. Please read below for more information about the process, including submission procedures. The deadline to submit is Wednesday, August 10, 2022.
The bylaws provide that there shall be 55 members on the Board and the terms shall be for two years. The criteria for Board nominations is as follows:
“The Nominating Committee shall nominate a slate of directors for election at the annual meeting of the Board, such slate shall include as many nominees as there are vacancies to be filled as of the annual meeting. The Nominating Committee shall draw from the membership at large (including any non-member who has agreed to become a member of the Council if elected to serve as director). Nominations should assure geographic, ethnic, and gender diversity to reflect the profession, and must include at least one member whose employing community or firm is located within the country of Canada and improves the economic development of Canada, and at least one whose employing community or firm is located within a country belonging to the European Union and whose work improves the economic development of that country.
Subject to the consecutive terms limit of Article VI.6., the Nominating Committee may re-nominate current directors for further terms, giving consideration to the level of participation, performance, and contributions of any such prospective nominees.
At least (30) days prior to the annual meeting, the Nominating Committee shall deliver to the Board members its slate of nominees along with a one-paragraph biographical statement submitted by each nominee.
Board members attend Board meetings held in conjunction with the Leadership Summit (held in late January/early February), the Spring Conference (held in early June) and the Annual Conference (held in September or October). Board members are also assigned to one of three advisory committees that meet at conferences and via conference/video call throughout the year.”
