CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Nominating Committee of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club is calling for nominations for the position of Director for a two-year term commencing after the 2022 Annual Members’ Meeting scheduled for Saturday, October 22, 2022.

​The Nominating Committee is seeking qualified candidates to play a key role in the stewardship of the Club. Directors are expected to respect the Club’s core values while contributing key governance attributes to the leadership of the Club, including experience, engagement, transparency and accountability.

Qualified candidates will have the skill set, expertise and experience necessary to further the Club’s long-term strategic plan, while also supervising the Club’s management. Potential directors with backgrounds in finance, accounting, marketing, communications and IT could be a great service to the Club. The Club also benefits from directors in both the “parent” and “independent” roles (the latter being persons with a deep knowledge of and passion for ski racing and/or a background in governance, and who do not currently have children in Club programs).

​
____________________________________________________________________________

​

For 2022, the Nominating Committee is seeking one or two candidates for the role of At-large Director.

​Where qualifications are comparable, preference will be given to female candidates with the goal of having greater female representation on the Board.

The Nominating Committee consists of Bruce Alexander, Jason Shorter, Carmine Boskovich and Duncan Reid.

Interested members are invited to contact the Nominating Committee at nominatingcommittee@wmsc.info.
