What are the OPIRG Board Elections/Nominations?
- As a non-profit organization OPIRG is directed by a group of student and community Board members. These members are democratically elected and serve as the main decision-making body for the organization. It’s a super important role!
- In order to be elected to the Board, candidates need to complete the attached nomination/application form and return it no later than March 18th at Midnight.
- All candidates will also be asked to complete a “Candidate Profile” that will be posted on the OPIRG website so student and community members can learn about the candidates.
How to apply/get nominated for the Board?
- Print off the attached Nomination Form.
- Fill out the required personal information and sign the pledge on the back to uphold our mandate.
- Get the form signed by 5 OPIRG members (most full-time undergrad and grad students are members).
- Return the form either in person to our OPIRG office (24 Trent lane, behind Creelman Hall on campus) or scan it and send it to opirg.elections.guelph@gmail.com no later than midnight on March 18th 2020.
- Once you have submitted your nomination you will be asked to answer a few questions for your “Candidate Profile”. Your answers can be submitted to opirg.elections.guelph@gmail.com
