Nominations for Branch Executive: We are looking for nominations for FV Executive positions.

Being part of the Branch Executive is a great experience! You can learn about the business of the institute, help develop professional development activities that you are passionate about, add to your resume, and grow your professional network. Additionally, being part of the branch executive can be used for professional development hours. We encourage everyone who is interested in putting their names forward.

If you would like to nominate yourself (or someone else with their permission), please forward your nomination to Kim Grout, PAg at kim.grout@gov.bc.ca prior to the AGM. Nominations should include the position of interest and a short bio/statement.
