The nomination period is now open to elect ACTRA Montreal’s eleven Branch Councillors. The first step in this process is to identify those members who wish to stand for election.

Branch Councillors form the leadership of ACTRA Montreal. They must participate in monthly meetings of the Council. They also participate actively by contributing time and energy to various committees, such as Professional Development, Stunt, Political Action, Discipline, the ACTRA Awards, the Grapevine and Members Conference. The term of the Branch Council is two years.

Once elected, the new Branch Council will select, from amongst its members, a President, a Vice-President and a Treasurer. From the Council, they will also choose two National Councillors to represent the Montreal Branch on ACTRA’s National Council.

On the reverse, you will find a nomination form.

Full ACTRA Montreal Members in good standing who wish to run for office must sign the form. As well, two other Full ACTRA Montreal Members must sign the form in order to nominate and second the candidate. They must also provide their names and Membership numbers. Nominated candidates must submit a 100-word candidate statement to the ACTRA Montreal office with their nomination form.

The deadline to submit your completed nomination form and candidate statement to the ACTRA Montreal office is 5:00 p.m., November 4, 2011.
