Seeking Nominations for Inaugural Board

September 17, 2019

Critical Dietetics is at an exciting new phase of its development – we are forming a Board of Directors now that we have official status as an organization. We are seeking nominations NOW for members to join the inaugural Board of Directors. Currently, we are filling six out of nine positions:

President
Treasurer
Members-at-Large (4)

Yuka Asada has agreed to become the Vice-President and Meredith Bessey the Secretary. The position of Past-President will not be filled until the incoming President fulfills their term. Thus, the first Board will be comprised of eight positions.

If you are interested in putting your name forward, please email Dr. Cathy Morley with the Board position you are seeking before the AGM, which is scheduled for Sunday, October 6, 2019 at the upcoming Critical Dietetics Conference. Elections (if necessary) will take place in the week following the AGM.

A couple of points: The inaugural Board is for World Critical Dietetics, now registered as a non-profit corporation with Corporations Canada (CorpCan). The first item of business is for the new Board to submit Bylaws to CorpCan (already largely drafted by the CD Coordinating Group over the past 2 years). Then, the Board can chart the direction of the organization. For anyone who likes to or has always wanted to create an organization from the ground up, this opportunity is for you!
