CAEP Open Call for Nominations
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP), and as Chair of the CAEP Nominating Committee, I am writing to inform you of the upcoming Annual General Meeting on Sunday May 29, 2022, and of upcoming vacancies on the CAEP Board of Directors.
As per the revised by-laws, the CAEP Nominating Committee along with the CAEP Board of Directors are issuing an open call to all members for applications for 2 vacant Board of Director positions.
The Nominating Committee has always considered geographic representation (as per the CAEP by-laws) as well as rural versus urban practice, gender, and differing certification in its deliberations. More recently, the Nominating Committee has expanded the criteria to reflect emergency physicians and our patients more fully. Diversity criteria now also include, but are not limited to, race and ethnicity, age and sexual orientation/identity.
To fulfill the requirements of the CAEP Bylaws, the Board must have a regional presence from each of the five (5) geographical regions. These positions must be filled by an active CAEP physician member.
Members are welcome to submit nominations for these positions using the form HERE. Nominations must be submitted to the CAEP office on or before Friday February 11, 2022. Nominations must include the written consent of the nominee to serve if elected and must be signed by no fewer than five (5) active CAEP physician members.
Nominations may be submitted by email to gleger@caep.ca by fax: 613-523-0190 or by mail to:
Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians
