Thinking about running for council? Here’s what you need to know.
Council’s role is to provide the strategic direction for the ABCFP. The staff, led by the CEO, carries out the day-to-day running of the association.
Council’s make up should reflect the membership with members representing the North Coast, South Coast, North Interior and South Interior. Currently there are three elected RFTs, seven elected RPFs and two lay councillors who are appointed by the provincial government. New council members are elected for a two-year term by the membership in January each year and take office at the ABCFP's annnual forestry conference and AGM in February.
Time Commitment:
- There are 6-7 two-day meetings a year plus attendance at the ABCFP's annnual forestry conference and AGM.
Participation in at least one committee while on council. The time commitment for committee work varies from a few hours a month to a few hours a week.
The ABCFP will pay for all reasonable travel, accommodation and meal expenses while on association business.
