The Committee encourages member stations to nominate Indigenous and BIPOC folks, and LGBTQ+ and Gender non-conforming folks from your stations to run for the board.

NCRA/ANREC members serve an audience recognized as diverse in ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, age, and physical and mental ability, and the NCRA/ANREC board of directors shall continue to aim in reflecting this diversity.

 

We also remind members about two important aspects of our bylaws:

1. Elections to the Board shall result in a diversity of genders and significant representation of underrepresented groups to the Board as defined by our Leadership Representation Policy. We proudly adhere to the 50:30 Challenge.  Elections must satisfy this requirement or be declared null and void to the extent of the inconsistency

  • This means that no identifiable group should represent a majority of the board. We are looking for three (3) self-identifying women, non-binary, or gender minority seats to be filled.

  1. At least four of the six regions of Canada should be represented on the board.

    1. The six regions are:

      1. the Pacific (British Columbia);

      2. the North (Northwest and Yukon Territories, and Nunavut);

      3. the Prairies (Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan);

      4. Ontario;

      5. Quebec; and

      6. the Atlantic (New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island).

There are returning board members from the Atlantic, Ontario, Quebec, and the Pacific. We encourage participation from the North and the Prairies to give us the broadest representation.

We have very detailed documentation about what a board member does, how much time and the expectations. It is all outlined here.

If you’re thinking about running and would like to talk more about it, feel welcome to get in touch with [email protected] for more information.

We can’t wait to have you on board!

Cheers,

– Secretary
NCRA/ANREC
