WeRPN is seeking nominations for our Board of Directors, and we would love to hear from you!

We are currently recruiting members to represent regions 2, 4, 6 and Member-at-Large for a two-year term. We are also hoping to find someone to represent Region 7 for a one-year term. All terms begin in October 2022.
To be eligible, nominees must:

·       have maintained a membership in the Association for a minimum of two consecutive years prior to their nomination;
·       meet the requirements for director in the Act;
·       be a member of the College of Nurses of Ontario in good standing.

Nominators must be current members of WeRPN and must reside or work in the same region(s) as the nominee. In the case of the Member-at-Large, nominators must simply reside or work in Ontario. Nominators must complete and submit a nomination form, along with a brief biography of the nominee.

Incumbent directors who wish to be re-elected must submit a nomination at the end of each two-year term. Directors may be elected to a maximum of three consecutive terms.

There are currently five regions up for election for WeRPN’s board of directors:

2 — Waterloo, Wellington and Central West
4 — Toronto Central
6 — Central East and North Simcoe Muskoka
7 (one-year term) — North East and North West
Member-At-Large

Board members must commit to a two-year term and are expected to attend meetings five times per year. Board members may also be expected to chair a committee and prepare reports and recommendations for board discussion. Board member positions are voluntary, but are reimbursed for mileage and other approved expenses that may incur.
Board members will be elected prior to the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which will take place on Thursday, October 20, 2022.

Completed nominations forms are due no later than Wednesday, July 13, 2022. To nominate someone, please click here.
