Board Election
Voting for the Board election is now open. Voting will remain open until 12:00 PM Pacific time, September 11, 2026.
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 5 candidates for the position of Board member.
To help you make an informed choice, candidate election statements are provided below. Election statements are not edited for grammar or typographical errors but have been formatted for consistency. The opinions expressed by the candidates are not necessarily those of Engineers and Geoscientists BC but are permitted to ensure an appropriate and robust debate of the issues that may be of importance to registrants.
As per the Election Policy, the candidate names appear in alphabetical order in the election materials. The names on the ballot are listed in random order.
