Join the BCLTA Board
The BCLTA Board is seeking candidates for 2 directors’ positions on the BCLTA board for two-year terms commencing at the 2025 AGM. BCLTA values different perspectives, ways of knowing, and lived experiences in its board composition and encourages local boards to nominate candidates who will enhance our understanding of the needs of communities.
As per Article 4.2 of the constitution and bylaws, BCLTA Board members must be members in good standing on the current board of their local library, or members who have served on their local library board within the previous two years and have left the board due to having served eight consecutive years, or in the case of regional library boards due to not having been re-elected in local government elections. Candidate names must be submitted to the BCLTA by March 22nd.
Please refer to the 2025 BCLTA Board Nominations form or contact Christine Middlemass for more information.
