Nominations for BCLA Board of Directors - Executive position vacancies - click here 

 

Dear BCLA Members,

 

The BCLA Nominations Committee will be accepting applications from individuals interested in standing for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting on Saturday, November 21, 2026.

 

This process is aligned with Bylaw VI: Officers, section 3 of the current BCLA Bylaws, which states:

“The Executive shall appoint a Nominating Committee to present to the Annual Meeting at least one name for each office.”

 

Anyone interested in running for the Board is encouraged to complete the application form and submit via email to:  boardapplications@bclacrosse.com

Application form: click here


Submission deadline: Thursday, November 12th, 2026

 

Although the Nominating Committee provision has been part of the BCLA Bylaws for many years, this is the first time the Association is using this application process to support its work. The process will help the Committee learn about prospective candidates’ experience, qualifications and interest in serving, and put forward candidates for members’ consideration.

 

The Committee’s recommendations are an important part of the nomination process. They do not determine the outcome of the election. Under the current bylaws, candidates may also be nominated from the floor at the AGM, and voting members will have the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidate from among all duly nominated candidates. Please note the current Committee Chair is Liz Hyland, lhyland@bclacrosse.com

 

The application process supports the Committee’s responsibilities under the bylaws while preserving members’ nomination and voting rights. The choice of who is elected at the AGM remains with voting members.

 

Thank you,

 

The BCLA Board of Directors
