2023 Call for Board Nominations

The Swim Ontario Board of Directors is elected by the Swim Ontario membership; each of nine members serve three-year terms.  For more information on the Board and its role/powers, please review the Swim Ontario By-Laws.  This year, the organization is recruiting 3 individuals to fill 3-year term vacancies. 

Submitting a nomination is easy.  Candidates are asked to complete the required documentation and to submit it by September 1, 2023. The information will be posted on the Swim Ontario web site for consideration by electors. Alternatively, candidates may have their named placed in nomination at the AGM. Candidates wishing to do so must provide the required documentation no later than 2PM the day before the AGM:  Saturday, September 23, 2023. The material will then be posted to the web site.

Although the nomination committee facilitates the election process and will endeavour to provide relevant information to electors, the decision as to who sits on the board is the sole prerogative of the electors – the clubs represented at the AGM.

In making those decisions the nominations committee is asking club representatives to consider some broad points:

• The importance of diversity on the board so that it reflects the membership it represents; 
• A gender balance that reflects the swimming community;  
• Representation from across the broad geography of Ontario; and, 
• The importance of selecting individuals who have core competencies needed on the board.
  

Required documentation:

• Nomination Form (to be submitted with application below)
• Nomination Application Questionnaire and Skills Matrix (part of application below)

Candidates will be provided the opportunity to briefly address the AGM prior to the vote.
