CYCEAB’s Nominating Committee will review your application and get back to you following the October 11th deadline for applications. We encourage first-time applicants to volunteer for one of CYCEAB’s committees to gain an understanding of the work of the organization and Board of Directors.
Elections for the director-at-large positions will be held at the next Annual General Meeting scheduled for November 17, 2022. The Board of Directors appoints qualified candidates to its Executive Committee positions (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary) at the first board meeting following each Annual General Meeting.
Eligibility

Directors shall serve a term of three years, with a board director from each geographic region elected annually. Board members may serve a maximum of two terms, but they may serve more when the board member is willing to continue and there is no one else to fill the vacant seat.
