2023 Board Candidates Announced
For the 2023 Board election, registrants will be electing three Board members to each serve a three-year term.
The following candidates have been selected to stand for Board member positions this year:
| Board Candidate (elect three) | Discipline | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Veronica Knott, P.Eng. | Mining | Victoria |
| Michelle Mahovlich, P.Eng., P.Geo. | Geological/Geology | Langford |
| Bijan Pourkarimi, P.Eng. | Mechanical | Vancouver |
| Ivan Rincon, P.Eng. | Electrical | Victoria |
| Matthew Salmon, P.Eng. | Civil | Oyama |
The nominees are selected by the Nomination Committee, which screens candidates through a merit-based process that considers their demonstrated skills in leadership, strategy, financial literacy, risk management, human resources, regulatory understanding, governance, and technical proficiency.
In previous elections, the Chair was elected separately. But, starting this year, registrants will be voting directly for Board members only. The Chair and Vice Chair will be selected by the elected Board members after the election. This change is to align with best practices for regulatory bodies.
The Board election will begin by September 8, 2023, and end at noon on October 13. All registrants in good standing, including trainees are eligible to vote.
