OFFICERS & DIRECTORS ROLES

Executive Officers

The Executive Oﬃcers make up the core leadership team of PPC Electoral District Associations. They are a team of PPC members with special roles and responsibilities. The 3 Executive Officer positions are President, Financial Agent/Treasurer, and Secretary. Electoral District Associations must have a President and Treasurer at minimum in order to be oﬃcially registered with Elections Canada.

It is important that Oﬃcers understand that although they do have special responsibilities, they must be careful not to assume absolute authority over PPC Electoral District Association Board decisions. The central mission of Executive Oﬃcers is to ensure the decisions of the Board are properly carried out.

All substantial decisions should be determined through a majority vote of the entire Board, which includes the Directors. Executive Oﬃcers can hold separate Executive meetings in addition to scheduled Board meetings. Executive Oﬃcers are expected to manage the day-to-day activities of their PPC Electoral District Association among other responsibilities listed below.

Board Directors

The Board of Directors receives its mandate directly from the members in their riding. To act as a Director, you must be a member of the Party in good standing and you must be elected by the local membership.

The Board of Directors must meet on a regular basis, preferably monthly. The frequency of Board meetings will increase as a General Elections approach.

Each Director holds his/her position for a term of one year upon which elections should be held. Directors can hold a position for a maximum of 3 consecutive terms, at which point they must step down.

A Director who has served 3 consecutive terms can then serve in a diﬀerent position on the Board of Directors, or run for re-election in his/her position after 1 term not serving on the Board of Directors or serving in a diﬀerent position.

Term limits are essential to promote succession planning and ensuring the sustainability and stability of the Regional PPC Association leadership.

Committee Directors

In order for our Regional PPC Association to be in the best position to achieve electoral success there are a wide range of tasks and activities that must be completed heading into a General Election.

Aside from the core duties and responsibilities covered by the Executive Oﬃcers, there are many additional tasks and activities that must be accomplished by our Regional PPC Association.

To ensure these tasks and activities are completed with the utmost quality, we seek Directors and volunteer assistants/helpers for the following committees:

Election Readiness Committee
Communications Committee
Telephoning Committee
Events Committee
Membership Committee
Volunteer Recruitment Committee
Fundraising Committee
Candidate Selection Committee
