The annual election of members to the PMI Manitoba Board of Directors is once again fast approaching and nominations are now being accepted for the 2022-2024 term (i.e., from April 2022 to March 2024).

All elected positions are for a two-year term except for the Vice President, Operations. The elected Vice President, Operations is expected to fulfill a four-year term as this role, for continuity, moves automatically into the Chapter President’s position on the third year and is President for two years.

This year, there are five open Board positions.  Candidates for the open positions of the Vice President, Operations and the Director of Finance will be elected directly from the pool of nominations for each of those positions.   Additionally, there are three (3) open Directors at Large positions.    The three candidates with the highest votes will be elected from the pool of nominations.  As per Chapter Policy #21, Directors at Large will be assigned specific Board roles relevant to their experience and the chapter’s strategic and operational objectives once the election process is complete.

Members may submit their nominations for either the VP Operations, Director of Finance, or Director at Large positions.

Descriptions of each of the Board positions as well as the Board member criteria are available via this link, as identified in the current PMI Manitoba Chapter By-laws.  All those putting their names forward as candidates will need to submit a short biography and vision statement, along with a signed “PMI Manitoba BOD Candidate Compliancy Statement”.  Information on this additional documentation will be provided by the PMI Manitoba Nominating Committee upon notification of an individual’s interest to submit their name as a candidate to the Board.

Nominations will close 5pm CST, Friday January 28, 2022. In early February a list of all candidates and their biographies will be sent to the chapter membership for their consideration.

The Election of Officers will take place electronically starting the middle of February using PMI Global’s Votenet service. An email will be sent at that time with the Votenet URL along with a unique Votenet user ID and password. Election results will be announced at the March 1, 2022 Annual General Meeting.
