The Canadian Committee is a NASPA committee established in February 2009 to manage matters pertaining solely to Canadian and not American players.
To contact the Canadian Committee send an email to naspa-canada@yahoogroups.com.
The terms for both John Robertson and Jeff Parsons will end on December 31, 2010.
The terms for both David Boys and Siri Tillekeratne will end on December 31, 2011.
The terms for both Tony Leah and Randall Thomas will end on December 31, 2012.
Each year two CC positions will expire on December 31. Prior to that date, there will be a nomination period for new candidates (lasting from September 1 to October 15). During that time, all Canadian NASPA members in good standing may nominate themselves or have others nominate them to run for election to the CC. The incumbents may also seek re-election.
Each year the CC election period will run from November 1 to November 30. All Canadian NASPA members in good standing may vote in this election. An online voting system will be instituted. (The CC will appoint a returning officer responsible for handling and counting ballots cast by voters who prefer to vote by paper ballot.) All votes must be received by 11:59 p.m. on November 30.
Each voter may vote for as many as two candidates on the ballot, but may only submit one ballot (either online or paper).
There is no limit to the number of candidates allowed to seek election each year. In most cases the two candidates with the highest vote totals shall be elected to three-year terms that begin on the following January 1. (Because there are maximum and minimum regional requirements for the CC, a scenario might exist where a candidate finishing worse than second in the election could win a spot ahead of the candidate who finished second.)
Any disputes about the elections process will be decided by the CC members (excluding those running for re-election).
Nominations for candidates will be accepted beginning on September 1, 2010. The deadline for nominations is 11:59 p.m. on October 15, 2010.
Anyone interested in running in the 2010 CC election or nominating someone to run in the election should contact any member of the Canadian Committee during the nomination period.
