Every year, approximately two Regional Director positions become vacant and are required to be filled. The process for becoming a Board Director begins with the Call for Nominations which generally runs from October 1 through to early January of the following year.
For the 2024 election cycle, the Board is particularly interested in hearing from prospective candidates living in the Cariboo & North region who have demonstrated leadership and governance experience and with one or more of the following types of professional experience:
- Finance, ideally at the CEO level, with a specialization in accounting, investments or IT

Interested candidates with the desired skills are encouraged to submit a candidate package in accordance with the requirements set out in the Director Recruitment Brief (PDF). All interested candidates will be required to attend an interview with a sub-committee of the Human Resource Committee and the CEO. Following the interview, qualified candidates may complete the final component of the nomination process by submitting a formal nomination form.
