COPA Directors are your regional representatives,
bringing your concerns to the national table, providing direction for your
president and staff, as well as setting policy for the Association. 2004 is an
election year for some COPA Director positions.
Although the term of office for all Directors is four years, in the interest of
continuity, half of the Director positions are up for election every two years.
The following positions are up for election this year in the following regions:
- Newfoundland and Labrador – one Director (currently Ray Hawko)
- Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick – two Directors (currently
Brian Chappell, Ernie Mclean)
- Northern Ontario – one Director (currently Ron Cooke)
- Manitoba and Nunavut – one Director (currently John Davidson)
- Saskatchewan – one Director (currently Rick Sauter)
- Alberta and North West Territories – two Directors (currently Sherry Cooper,
Bob Kirkby)
Nominations for a Director must be made in writing by at least five voting
members (defined as paid-up regular members, their family members and persons
designated by corporate members when they applied for membership).
Completed nomination forms must be received at the COPA office by 12:00 noon on
Feb. 16, 2004.
You can mail the form below to COPA, 207-75 Albert St, Ottawa, ON, K1P 5E7, fax
