The Nomination Committee consists of professionals from across Canada with experience in various industry sectors. These individuals serve two-year terms and their goal is to seek and select qualified and professional candidates to appear on the Committee slate of the final election ballot, to be voted on by CIRA Members.
To support the Committee, each year CIRA’s Board submits a letter to the Committee that outlines the skills and experience needed on the board. These needs are a result of an annual board skills survey.
Each Committee member reviews each eligible application submitted, and in early July the Committee meets to pre-select candidates. These pre-selected candidates are then interviewed by a third-party organization. Applicants are informed of the Committee’s decision in late July.
