Call for WGA Board Nominations
The 2025/2026 Board of Directors of the WGA will be elected at our Annual General Meeting on June 8, 2025.
The AGM will be held at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology’s (SAIT) Heritage Hall (1301 16 Ave NW, Calgary, AB) but there will be the opportunity for remote
participation.
There are currently no candidates running for Vice President and three Member at Large positions.
Nominations are welcome from members from across the province with a view to creating a Board with a diversity of backgrounds, experience, and perspectives, including diversity with respect to race, gender, geography, and areas of expertise. The Board is intended to have no more than three members from the same centre. A member who has served two full consecutive terms shall not be eligible to serve again as a Director before the passing of two years except in the case of a Past President, who may hold office during the term of his/her successor.
Written nominations for the Board of Directors may be made in advance of the AGM, signed by the candidate and two members of the WGA who are in good standing. Additionally, nominations and seconding motions may be put forth at the AGM, with the consent of the nominee, by WGA members who are in good standing.
Advance nominations will be included in the AGM materials if they are received Monday, May 12, 2025 to [email protected], though nominations may still be submitted after the date. Please include a brief bio and an election statement (total maximum 200 words) and email from two members to indicate support for your nomination.
