Calls for Participation

Call for AMA Board Nominations

Members are invited to submit names of candidates to fill vacant positions for the Alberta Museums Association (AMA) Board of Directors for the 2013 - 2016 term.

The AMA Board is looking for individuals who have a shared belief in the Association's core values, knowledge of policy governance, and an understanding of provincial government.

All nominees must review the following documents: Board Director Duties & Responsibilities, Policy Governance Overview, Board Governance Process Policies 6: Code of Conduct and 7: Conflict of Interest, and then complete and return the Nominee Questionnaire and Board Nomination Form.

All nominees must be Individual Voting Members of the Association. The AMA Board will prepare a slate of qualified candidates from the nominations received and solicited. When there are more candidates than positions to be filled, an election, by secret ballot, will be held at the Annual General Meeting in Edmonton, Alberta on September 21, 2013.

The AMA does not accept nominations from the floor at the Annual General Meeting. The responsibility to select candidates best suited to lead the Association requires thoughtful planning and attention to skills / areas of expertise currently required by the Board. Nominations from the floor do not give nominated candidates a fair chance to have their names placed before the membership.

Deadline for nomination is June 14, 2013.

For more information, please contact Alexandra Hatcher. To submit a nomination, please download and complete the Board Nomination Form and Board Nominee Questionnaire.
