Board of Directors Nominations & AGM Motions

This year, five positions will be up for election on the Board of Directors of the BC Psychological Association (BCPA).

As specified by a 2010 Special Resolution, three of the newly elected directors will begin service of one-year terms, and two will begin service of three-year terms, in order to achieve the staggering of Board elections required by our Constitution.

All the directors of BCPA are volunteers. The Board of Directors consists of seven BCPA members who are elected by the membership of the Association. Directors are responsible for the Association both financially and legally. Their role is one of governance; to steer the Association and work towards the achievement of our goals and purposes, as stated in the Constitution. They are responsible for attending monthly meetings, as well as for serving as Board liaisons by sitting on one or more committees.
