Engineers and Geoscientists BC is governed by a board of elected registrants and government appointees who are accountable to the public, overseeing the governance and management of the organization. The organization's Nomination Committee is responsible for selecting candidates to stand for election to the Board. The Nomination Committee follows a merit-based process that seeks strong and diverse leaders, believing that a Board that reflects both the professions and the public fosters healthy discourse and innovative decision making that are in the public interest.
The Board election is an opportunity for registrants to engage in self-governance, and we encourage all eligible voters to participate. The Committee has nominated 2 candidates for the position of Board member.
