Dear PMI Manitoba Chapter Member,

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 2024-2026 term (i.e., from April 2024 to March 2026).

All elected positions are for a two-year term except for the Vice President, Operations.  The elected Vice President, Operations fulfills 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.

For this coming term, there are a total of five positions needed to be filled, two direct elections and three Director-at-Large positions open for election.  For the Director-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.

Descriptions of each of the Board positions are available via this link as well as the Board member criteria, 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 26, 2024. 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 in early to late 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 5, 2024 Annual General Meeting.

Michael Hanna, P.Eng, PMP, has been appointed as Chair of the Nominating Committee to manage the election process and to be the point-of-contact for candidates expressing interest in being nominated to a position. Please contact the Nominating Committee Chair at the email below to express your interest in your nomination for a Board position, or to ask any questions about the Board positions or the election process.
