Each year a Recruitment Committee is formed in February prior the Annual General Meeting held each June. This committee seeks to fill any upcoming vacancies that are on the Board of Directors. When a candidate(s) are contacted the recommendations go to the Executive Committee members for further review and then final candidate(s) are then brought forward to the Board of Directors for the final approval at the Annual General Meeting.
