Nominations should include a curriculum vitae or short biographical notes and a succinct statement explaining, from the perspective of the nominator, how the candidate could contribute to the Board. The Governance and Ethics Committee is charged with recommending members from the external community to the Board of Governors.
Appointments are for renewable three-year terms. Board members must be committed to higher education and the well-being of students. They are expected to serve on at least one of the standing committees of the Board and may, from time to time, be involved in special projects. There is no honorarium for service as a Board member.
In evaluating nominations, the Governance and Ethics Committee will take into account the various segments of the community served by the University. A variety of experience and expertise profiles are sought.
Please forward nominations, in confidence, to Danielle Tessier, director, Board and Senate Administration, via email (danielle.tessier@concordia.ca) no later than January 12, 2015. As there can be no assurance that a nominee will be offered a seat on the Board, nominations should be held in the strictest confidence and should not be discussed with the nominee.
