CPABC Board Election Process
Each year, the CPABC Board of Directors revisits its skills and diversity matrix to help identify gaps in representation and, accordingly, the most sought-after skills, attributes, and diversity for incoming board members to further enhance and broaden the Board’s current skill set. There is a formal process to vet potential new board members against the skills being sought by the board. It includes due diligence procedures and a review of submitted documentation and may include interviews conducted with the assistance of an independent external consultant.
The purpose of the process is to identify to the membership those candidates who most closely align with the competencies the board is seeking. No later than May 6, each candidate will have an initial discussion with the independent external consultant to review the process and give the consultant the opportunity to learn more about the candidate’s background. Candidates may then be interviewed by members of the Board Renewal Committee and/or the independent external consultant between May 12-15 depending on the number of candidates. Please hold these dates open in your calendar if you are planning to submit a nomination package.
It is the board’s goal to have, as much as is possible, a board whose members reflect the entirety of the membership, including such considerations as professional and business, ethnicity and diverse backgrounds. In addition, the board will aim to have representation from a cross-section of industry sectors.
Voting for board positions and other regulatory matters will take place from May 30 to June 13, and the results will be announced at CPABC’s annual general meeting (AGM) on June 20, 2025, which will take place virtually. Formal notice of the CPABC AGM will be provided at a later date.
The Board Nomination Form is now available. Nomination forms must be received electronically by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, April 25, 2025.
