Call for Nominations—2010 Equine Canada Director-at-Large Election

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 2010 Director-at-Large can be found on the Equine Canada website at www.equinecanada.ca/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=438&Itemid=365&lang=en-GB, the upcoming issue of HorseLife or by phoning 613-248-3433 ext. 130.
