PIBC Board of Directors Elections & Nominations
Opportunity to Get Involved!
The upcoming new year brings an excellent new opportunity to get involved with PIBC! In the spring of 2025, the Institute will be holding its regular elections for the next two-year Board of Directors term, and the Governance & Nominating Committee is looking to reach out widely and connect with members who might be interested in being nominated to stand for election to the Board for the 2025-2027 term. You, or someone you know might be just the right person!
The Opportunity!
Participating on the Board of Directors is an excellent opportunity for members to bring their unique skills and experience to the table and to contribute as part of the leadership team of the Institute. It can be a rewarding experience, with the ability to help guide and shape the strategic direction of PIBC, while also providing a great chance to: connect with, learn from, and collaborate with fellow planners across the profession; develop volunteer experience and skills; bring diverse and varied perspectives to the role; interact with members across the profession; and learn more about PIBC and its activities.
Consider Being Nominated or Suggesting a Potential Nominee
The Governance & Nominating Committee is required to put forward a list of member nominees for the available positions on the Board of Directors for the new term by early March 2025. They are looking for a diverse and wide range of Certified (RPP) and Candidate members to consider. If you are interested, or if you know of another member who should be contacted and considered, please don’t hesitate to reach out to PIBC and let the Committee know by emailing us at the contact below.

PIBC welcomes and encourages all qualified and interested members to consider these volunteer roles. In recognition of the systemic conditions of disadvantage faced by many, PIBC encourages interest from members of groups that have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, Indigenous peoples, racialized persons, persons with disabilities, and those who identify as women and/or 2SLGBTQ+.
