Exec Nominations 2025

The VOC needs a new Executive for 2025/2026!

Elections this year will take place online in the weeks before the Annual General Meeting. Elections results will be announced at the Annual Banquet which this year is on March 27th. You can nominate yourself, or someone you think would do a good job. If you're nominating someone else, please talk with them about it first. Executives must be an AMS member (ie. a student) next year. President and Treasurer must have been on the exec previously. It is fine to write a person down for more than one position, but at the end of the day you can only actually do one. For some positions, especially Huts, Trails, Trips, it is very worth while to have somebody who will be around during the summer in that position.

Nominations are now closed You can anonymously nominate someone using the Qualtrics Form. This page will be periodically updated with the form submissions.

It also helps to distinguish whether someone is nominating themselves, or nominating someone else [self-nomination vs. peer-nomination]. Or we can add excitement and leave it a mystery.
