CAFE has adopted a staggered 2 year term for our 12 member Board of Directors. This means 6 Board positions are be up for election at each Annual General Meeting. When the nomination period is announced, CAFE members are eligible to stand for nomination. A member must contact us at nominations@equalitycanada.com no later than 30 days before the AGM. The CAFE Bylaws provide the form by which nominations will be accepted. In particular, the Board requires nominations to be accompanied by the supporting signature of at least 5 members of CAFE and acceptance of the nomination through a signature of the nominee. For detailed instructions on the Nomination process, please read the CAFE bylaws carefully, in particular article 27.0
