2022 Governance & HR Committee Nominating Report
The Governance and HR Committee strives to create a nominating process that is inclusive of the members of CPHR Saskatchewan, and ensures the ongoing alignment and successful governance for the organization. The committee sought expressions of interest from members of the Association who wished to be considered for nomination to the Board. Nominations closed July 8, 2022.
When proposing nominees for election to the Board, the Governance and HR Committee considers the following: membership in good standing with CPHR Saskatchewan, CPHR designation, previous board experience (on the CPHR Saskatchewan Board or on the board of directors of other organizations), commitment to CPHR Saskatchewan, financial expertise, governance and legislative experience, and diversity factors, in addition to such personal characteristics as strategic vision and leadership capabilities.
CPHR Saskatchewan''s Administrative Bylaws provide for a Board comprised of a minimum of six and a maximum of 14 Directors. As of June 2022 the CPHR Saskatchewan Board consisted of 11 Directors.
