MORE ABOUT HMC ELECTIONS

Board member terms will generally be 3 years in length, excepting where a shorter term is necessitated by any early vacancies.

To ensure a consistent rotation of experienced board members and fresh voices, an election rotation has been established where the Secretary, Treasurer and half the Directors-at-Large will be elected in the first year and the Chair-Elect, Chair, Membership Secretary, and the remaining Directors-at-large will be elected in the second year. 

The third year will see no elections other than those required to fill unforeseen vacancies that the board feels must be filled before the next planned election.

Elections are typically held electronically via our website, where every member in good standing is eligible to cast their vote. If you are not sure whether your membership will be active during the election period, please reach out to our Membership Secretary, Kathie Zalasky at membership@handbellmusiciansofcanada.ca
