From the CBN website:
Call for Nominations to the CBN Advisory Board
Nominations to fill vacancies on the Community Bicycle Network (CBN) advisory board are open until July 2 for people interested in standing for election at the CBN General Meeting on Monday, July 9, 2007.
CBN is currently looking for enthusiastic people with skills in a variety of areas such as accounting, fundraising, event planning, project management, law and communications.
Individuals who are nominated and agree to stand for election to the CBN Board will be making a commitment to a two-year term. They will agree to attend monthly two- to three-hour Board meetings and to contribute an additional two to three hours per month to a CBN committee, task group or other related volunteer work.
Interested individuals may nominate themselves by sending an e-mail to personnel@communitybicyclenetwork.org, or a letter to Nominations Committee, Community Bicycle Network, 101-761 Queen St. West Toronto, ON M6J 1G1 by July 2, 2007.
PLEASE NOTE: nominees must be CBN members in good standing as of July 2, 2007. Membership applications are available online at http://communitybicyclenetwork.org/?q=membership_form.
CBN welcomes men and women from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds and parts of the city. We strive to maintain a gender balance on the Board, and encourage the commitment to anti-oppressive principles and accountability in our work.
All nominees will receive an acknowledgement.
and,
CBN General Meeting - July 9 @ 7 p.m.
Please join us for a general meeting of the Community Bicycle Network at 7 p.m. on Monday July 9, at 761 Queen Street West.
At the meeting we will elect new Directors, and discuss a brave new direction for CBN in bicycle promotion and education. We will also address how to encourage CBN members to take on leadership roles.
Background
CBN by-laws dictate that when the number of Directors on the organization's Advisory Board falls below five, a general meeting of the membership and new elections must be held. Because of recent resignations among current Advisory Board members, Board membership has fallen to four.
Join CBN on July 9 and help us meet this challenge head on.
Thank you.
