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 2021-2023 term (i.e., from March 2021 to February 2023).

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, all nominees will be elected into the position of Director at Large. Directors at Large will be assigned roles and positions 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 also 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, January 29, 2021. 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 2, 2021 Annual General Meeting.

Connie Lemoine, 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 her at the email below to express your interest in being a director-at-large, or to ask any questions about the Board positions or the election process.
