Ottawa, ON — Each year the Equine Canada Nominations Committee has the responsibility of presenting a slate of candidates to the membership for the election of a Director-at-Large. The 13-member Equine Canada Board of Directors consists of three Director-at-Large positions, which are elected by the membership. One Director-at-Large position is elected each year and serves a three-year term. The other positions on the Board are elected through each of the four councils (Breeds and Industry, Provincial, Recreation and Sport).

Nomination forms for the 2011 Director-at-Large can be found on the Equine Canada website (www.equinecanada.ca) or by phoning 613-248-3433 ext. 130.

The Nominations Committee is composed of a Chair who is appointed by the Board of Directors, and one member from each of the four Equine Canada division councils — Sport, Provinces, Breeds & Industry and Recreation.
