CSIA National Board - Election of Directors Vote by April 15, 2021

Dear Members,

In accordance with the CSIA General By-laws the term of office for the Directors of both the Central and Quebec Regions will expire on May 1, 2021. Candidates standing for election are either put forward by the National Board following the Nomination Committee’s recommendations or by submitting their Nomination Form before November 30, 2020, supported by a minimum of 10 Members in good standing in their Region.

As there were no candidates that submitted their nomination form for the Central position, no elections will be held in Central and therefore, Jamie Lou Morneau, is elected by acclamation. Her biography could be found with the biographies linked below.
