Council Elections - Statement & Biography
As part of the election process, individuals being nominated for election to the Council are invited to submit both a personal statement and a biography.
The biography should a brief (300 words or less) outlining their professional history. It must be in a paragraph form (bullet points are not permitted). The biography is not a curriculum vitae or resume but a summary of the highlights of one’s career.
The personal statement should also be brief (300 words or less) and should outline why the individual wishes to sit on the Council. The personal statement must also be in a paragraph format and not include bulleted lists.
Both the biography and personal statement submitted must:
- Not be (or potentially be) libelous, offensive or in bad taste.
- Not be in violation of any law or the College’s Rules of Conduct.
- Reflect the College’s mandate of protecting the public interest.
- Not make promises to change or commit to making changes to the College’s by-laws, regulations, standards of practice, policies or position statements.
- Not promote or advocate on behalf of the profession or indicate an intent to do so if elected.
- Be submitted in either English or French (note: the College will not translate the summary or the statement into English or French should it be provided in any other language).
- Be limited to the 300 words or less for each as noted above.
