Call for Discussion Topics

Call for Nominations

Our fleet benefits greatly from the diversity of its membership. As a member, you are encouraged to play an active part in the management and operations of the Canadian Shark Class Association. One of the ways you can do this is by standing for election as a member of the CSCA Executive or Regional representation. Ideally, an even geographic disbursement from each CSCA region on the Executive is our goal, but this can only happen if you participate. This is a call for nominations from the membership for election to any open position on the CSCA Executive. In the event that there are no nominations for a role, the incumbent in an Executive role will automatically roll over into another 2-year term should they choose to do so.

Nominees, nominators, and seconders must be current paid members in good standing of the Canadian Shark Class Association. Nominations must be sent via email to the president and secretary and be received not later than Sunday, February 25, 2024. Included in the nomination email, must be evidence of:

  • Acceptance of the nominated individual that they agree to run for the indicated position;
  • Email from a third party seconding the nomination; and
  • Where possible, a short bio of the nominee which can be shared with the membership prior to the AGM for consideration.
