Help recruit candidates for the next AIBC Council election – join the Council Recruitment Task Force
The AIBC is seeking three members-at-large, who are past council members or liaisons, to serve on the Council Recruitment Task Force (PDF). This short-term volunteer opportunity will take place between October 2019 and March 2020. Attendance at an orientation session being held Tuesday, November 5 (2–4 p.m.) is required.
Members of the Task Force will use their ability to network with a wide range of Architects AIBC to promote the unique opportunity to serve on AIBC Council. The Task Force will actively seek and recruit candidates to participate in the 2020 council election nomination process.
The new Task Force has been created to ensure autonomy of the candidate recruitment and evaluation processes; the work of recruiting council candidates has been transferred from the Nominations Review Committee to the Task Force.
The Task Force plays a pivotal role in promoting registrant involvement in self-governance, thereby contributing to AIBC Council delivering on the Institute’s mandate.
Volunteer Responsibilities:
- Participate in orientation training;
