2024 Membership Vote Details

Introduction

The Division Board includes seven (7) FP Member Director positions and one (1) Resident Member Director position. Each year, approximately half of the FP Member Director positions and the one (1) Resident Member Director position come up for election – details related to open Board seats will be shared in early August. With the implementation of Primary Care Networks (PCNs), board members also serve as PCN Steering Committee Conveners. Find information about our current board of directors here. The role description of a board of directors can be found here.

Vacancies for Election in 2024

• This year there are four (4) board of director positions open for election – three (3) FP Member Director positions and one (1) Resident Member Director position.
• PCN Steering Committees are seeking conveners for PCNs 1 (City Centre), 2 (Centre North), and 4 (Westside). All eligible Division members across the City are encouraged to put their names forward, but we welcome nominations from members practicing in these three PCNs.

Choosing Between Board Participation Versus Project Participation

In compliance with the BC Societies Act, if a member is elected to the board of directors of the Vancouver Division, they are ineligible to engage and be remunerated for any activities at the day-to-day operations and programming level of the Division. This means a member must choose between being a board member OR participating in committees, working groups, programs or projects. A member cannot be remunerated for both.

Are there any exceptions? Yes, there is one exception, which is for members interested in serving on the board who are also officially a part of the Vancouver Division’s Long-Term Care Initiative program.
